John Kerry, Mark Foley, Bill Clinton, now THIS is an apology!
I wish I could get excited about this Ted Haggard business but I never heard of him until he became a meth-using, gay guy All-Star in the liberal "media" last week.
Ditto.

Even in appology, he puts himself before his family!

He should tell everyone he is a Gay-American, write a book and go on Oprah.
Thank you for finding and posting this. I was surprised MSNBC showed the entire, uninterrupted, unedited video of it being read to his congregation this morning. Very powerful, I hope many will take the time to read it.
and I wish him, his family and the entire congregation well. This is going to difficult for all involved.
Two more words....."I'm gay."
His wife must feel a little betrayed. Maybe he should have told her he was gay before they got married.
Perhaps if you'd actually read the letter to see what it said, rather than playing little mr. spellcheck, you'd actually have learned something. Alas, you didn't.
He is only sorry he was caught.
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
The apology of a true Christian man. May God bless him and restore him.
That said, I am glad to see that he has accepted full responsibility for his actions.
May God mold him back into his man again.
"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23
But, the bible also says:
"You may be sure that your sin will find you out."
Numbers 31:23
Sin is such a terrible thing that God's son had to be tortured and to die in order to save us. Watch your DVD "The Passion of the Christ" and that reminds us all what He did.
To the liberals, the MSM, the secular - the worst sin is to be "a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is a sin - Christ called the Pharisees on it.
But those who only point to hypocrisy as sin refuse to acknowledge their own sin. They think only getting caught in sin after speaking God's truth to sin is the only thing wrong.
The homosexual man who had sex with this preacher does not admit to his sin. The former pastor now does.
That is a BIG difference in the eyes of God.
This guy Ted Haggard is a huge disappointment, although I admit I never heard of him until 4 days ago. He should have known his sin would have found him out. Gay sex is perhaps the ugliest and dirtiest of sins. I will pray for him that perhaps this hard, hard crash wakes him up to how he destroyed his life and marriage with it.
God can use any tragedy and make it a blessing.
Previous posters are much nicer people than I.
I have no idea why anyone would accept this creep's applogy. I wouldn't.
For starters, I don't believe a word of it.

Two words:
WHO CARES?
Why all the rending of garments and moaning and groaning?
He was just another money-grubbing, two-faced hypocrite that took himself too seriously.
It appears there were many that him too seriously, also.
Let's move on.
