Well That's a Relief

Ted Haggard says he's cured:

A leading evangelist who admitted to "sexual immorality" following allegations of sex with a male prostitute is convinced he is "completely heterosexual," said one of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling with the disgraced minister.

The Rev. Ted Haggard, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, also said his sexual contact with men was limited to the former male prostitute who came forward with sexual allegations, the Rev. Tim Ralph of Larkspur told The Denver Post for a story in Tuesday's edition.

"He is completely heterosexual," Ralph said. "That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing."


Praise the Lord! And guess what? It looks like Ted might even be allowed back inside the church eventually! (Well, a church, anyway. You know, somewhere else.)

"Nobody is saying he can't go back into ministry," Ralph said. "Somewhere down the road, that could very well happen, and that would be wonderful."


Could this be a sign of increased tolerance among the Evangelicals?

...Hey, did that pig just fly past my window?
