The church of a top U.S. evangelical pastor embroiled in a sex scandal has dismissed him after its investigative board found him guilty of inappropriate sexual acts.
Their statement confirmed that "we, the Overseer Board of New Life church, have concluded our deliberations concerning the moral failings of Pastor Ted Haggard. Our investigation and Pastor Haggard's public statements have proven without a doubt that he has committed sexually immoral conduct."
Ted Haggard, who is 50 years old and married with five children, is also the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). The NAE is an umbrella group that claims a membership of 45,000 conservative yet very diverse churches. Pastor Haggard was an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and has been a person of political influence among American political conservatives, with regular access to President George W. Bush.
