Leader at Haggard's church out over sexual misconduct

Oh, Dog! I love this stuff..

An executive staff member at New Life Church in Colorado Springs has resigned after admitting to sexual misconduct and other mistakes - the result of an examination of the staff's moral makeup after the ouster of senior pastor Ted Haggard, a church official said Sunday.

Christopher Beard, who headed a ministry that trained young adults in leadership skills, stepped down Friday after admitting to "a series of decisions displaying poor judgment, including one incident of sexual misconduct several years ago," said Rob Brendle, an associate pastor at the 14,000- member church.

1. Apparently a lot of evangelicals in charge have a lot of sexual issues?

2. Stands to reason.

The evangelicals, or any of the fundamentalists, are taught that SEX is sinful. They're not even too happy with pro-creational sex ( I imagine one is not supposed to enjoy it!)

Adding the human races' natural need for sexual gratification, I am surprised there is not MORE sexually dysfunctional "Christians" out there. Perhaps there are, but we are only seeing the tip of this particularly libidinous iceberg.

And who doesn't like a little sinning now and then? :)
