Haggard's "overseers" are pissed at him
Quote:
Ted Haggard has been warned he has violated an agreement over his departure from the church he led after admitting he had an an affair and purchased drugs from a male prostitute.
[...]
When news of the email became public the overseers of the New Life Church arranged a meeting with Haggard on Wednesday.
New Life Church overseer Mike Ware in a statement following the meting in Denver said that Haggard was told "his plan and his communications about it were unacceptable."
The statement said that the overseers warned Haggard he had violated the terms of his departure as minister of the church. Specifically the agreement said that in return for a year's salary and continued support from the church he would leave the ministry and refrain fro publicly speaking about the hustler scandal.
The overseers' statement also disputed Haggard's claim he would provide counseling at the Dream Center.
"It was never the intention of the Dream Center that Mr. Haggard would provide any counsel or other ministry," the statement said.
Above censuring Haggard the statement from the overseers did not say if Haggard was punished further.
Jeeez... I thought after the whole Moses and the Egyptians tale, the term "overseer" was sorta viewed with a jaundiced eye by the Christers... |
