The New Life Church thingy is on Ch. 3 right now in Denver.
So far it's pretty creepy. Has anyone heard who or what they're blaming Pastor Ted's "indiscretions" on?

1. scary stuff
This is actually starting to add up;

The true architectural wonder of New Life, however, is the pyramid of authority into which it orders its 11,000 members. At the base are 1,300 cell groups, whose leaders answer to section leaders, who answer to zone, who answer to district, who answer to Pastor Ted Haggard, New Life's founder.

The church is organized into this capo system. It's painted Air Force colors, and it's on the hill above the Air Force Academy. This while the Air Force Academy has been in the news of late for allegedly proselytizing and religious coercion.

2. Sounds like he's taking all the responsibility himself
Asking for forgiveness of his accuser.

BushCo could learn from his example.

3. Lots of quaking lower lips and tears in the flock.
I do feel kind of sorry for these people. They were duped.
