Young Evangelicals + Ted Haggard Update

Cindy, I hope I'm not stepping on your toes here. I just came across these 2 items on Yahoo and wanted to flag them before they vanished.

Young evangelicals aim to broaden agenda

Surveys by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life show a 15 percentage point drop in the alliance of white evangelicals aged 18 to 29 with the Republican Party over the past two years...

Most favor stricter laws to protect the environment, for example, an issue not typically associated with Republican platforms, yet remain conservative on issues like opposition to abortion and support for the death penalty.

"I have dreadlocks and a soul patch. And I can speak in unknown tongues, how cool is THAT?"

Pastor: Haggard has left 'restoration program'

Haggard and church officials clashed last summer after Haggard sent an e-mail to a Colorado Springs television station outlining his plans to work as a counselor at a Christian-run halfway house in Phoenix. The e-mail also solicited financial support.

A four-pastor team of overseers said that those plans were unacceptable and that Haggard would seek secular employment instead.

Boyd said Haggard was in private business but didn't have any further details. He said there were no plans for him to work again at New Life.

Maybe Pastor Ted is selling used SUV's. That would be a natural fit.

1. "I can speak in unknown tongues"

Because it is nothing but babble and nonsense, what a moron.
