BREAKING NEWS___ Thursday, November 2, 2006___The Rev. Ted Haggard, senior pastor at 14,000-member New Life Church, resigned today as president of the 30-million-member National Association of Evangelicals, following allegations he paid a Denver man for sex over the last three years. (See this link from the Gazette of Colorado Springs): http://www.gazette.com/display.php?id=1326038______Besides Focus on the Family’s Dr. James Dobson himself, Rev Haggard has over the past few years been a major champion of Far Right Conservative Christianity’s anti-LGBT agenda, both locally and in some cases even nationally. In light of this breaking news, he ironically has hosted rallies aimed at opposing marriage equality for Gays - and has repeatedly preached that Homosexuality is a sin before God, no different than adultery or lying.___Can we now breach the subject of gross hypocrisy?!___Major national news sources are now scrambling around town to get the details on this story - but you all have an inside track on it right here. I will post whatever I find on it, as the whole truth comes forth.___Working hard for Equality___Nancy-Jo of Colorado Springs
