Evangelist 'sexually immoral'

Colorado Springs - Disgraced US evangelist Ted Haggard - a vocal opponent of gay marriage - said
on Sunday that he was guilty of "sexual immorality" and that he
had long battled with a "repulsive" side of his life.
"I am guilty of sexual immorality, I am a deceiver and a
liar. "There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark
and I've been warring against it my entire adult life", Haggard
said in a letter that was read to his New Life Church in
Colorado Springs by a church overseer.
Haggard resigned as president of the National Association
of Evangelicals on Thursday after being accused by a male
escort of having had a sexual relationship with him. He also
agreed to step down as senior pastor of the New Life Church on
Saturday.
