As to his close association with BUsh, here is part of a conversation he had with Brokaw. "Phone calls from the White House In addition to his duties as a local pastor, Ted Haggard is also the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, representing 45,000 churches. Haggard is vigilant about the image of Evangelicals; prior to one of our visits he sent an e-mail to his congregation, urging them to be restrained and not to act too “weird” in front of our cameras. Along with other religious conservative leaders, Haggard belongs to an association called the Arlington Group, the members push for common goals such as banning gay marriage and restricting abortion. Brokaw: Let me read you what Senator John Danforth, an ordained Episcopal priest, a Republican says, “Many conservative Christians approach politics with a certainty that they know God’s mind and they can advance God’s will through government.” Is he talking about you? Ted Haggard: Well, I think all of us have a responsibility to advance God’s will through government. But we are in a pluralistic society. We’re not talking about theocracy. We’re not talking about some group of religious leaders dictating to the government how to write law. I’m not a power broker. I don’t call presidents. I don’t harangue the White House. Brokaw: You don’t have to call him. He calls you. Haggard: I’ll be talking to the White House in another three and a half hours. Brokaw: About what today? Haggard: I don’t know the subject today. We have a regularly scheduled conference call. Brokaw: They reach out to you? Haggard: Yes." IN GOD THEY TRUSTmsnbc.msn.com This is the lowest in God's Kingdom imo. Those who are pastors of mega churches who are double minded and lie to their flock. Haggard's damning voice mailsevangelicalright.com Santi
