Mon, Jan. 26 2009 02:11 PM ESTCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – New Life Church will recover from new allegations in the 2-year-old sex scandal that brought down founder Ted Haggard, its pastor said Sunday.
Brady Boyd encouraged his Colorado Springs congregation and reminded them of their “holy tenacity,” two days after revelations that a male church volunteer reported having a sexual relationship with Haggard.
It’s the second such claim against Haggard. In late 2006, a male prostitute in Denver said he had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with the former New Life pastor.
“I’m sorry that this wound has been reopened for many of you,” Boyd told the congregation Sunday. “One day we may have a little scar tissue, but the wounds will not define us.”
