We have our ways. Ted Haggard, for instance, was fired, excommunicated, forbidden from preaching anywhere in the State of Colorado ... and became a traveling insurance salesman.

You know what's funny? When I heard about Haggard, I was saddened for you guys. I didn't go around exalting in his downfall and trying to use it as an evangelical tool.

A widespread problem and possible cover-up may indicate a larger problem than does an individual fallen parishoner whose behavior is met with an immediate firing and excommunication.

If Haggard had not been fired, excommunicated, and run out on a rail, I would’ve expressed my own problems with the handling of the situation.
