And... it's not Ted Haggard. This time around it is another megachurch evangelical pastor, Paul Barnes.
In a tearful videotaped message Sunday to his congregation, the senior pastor of a thriving evangelical megachurch in south metro Denver confessed to sexual relations with other men and announced he had voluntarily resigned his pulpit.
A month ago, the Rev. Paul Barnes of Grace Chapel in Doug las County preached to his 2,100-member congregation about integrity and grace in the aftermath of the Ted Haggard drugs-and-gay-sex scandal.
The difference is that Barns admits he is gay, where Haggard did not. I have it on good authority that pastor's Paul Barnes and Ted Haggard enjoyed soy milk . Nah, I'm just joking, but it sounded good, right?
