"I'm guilty of sexual immorality," Haggard tells his flock | Salon News

"I'm guilty of sexual immorality," Haggard tells his flock | Salon News: "Many spoken prayers were for Haggard as well, but most swerved away from his soul quite quickly into prayers for personal purity, the salvation of the 'homosexual community' and the 'vanquishing of Satan.' The people gathered in their jeans and T-shirts, each clutching a worn Bible, didn't seem to blame Haggard for his indiscretions. They blamed Satan. And they blamed themselves."

Salon has an interesting piece on New Life Church's member reactions to the Haggard scandal. Yes, it's fluffy, but still, I think it's got some real points and highlights some themes that are important. It also mentions the homoerotic paintings of Thomas Blackshear which reminded me of a Harper's article. Harper's apparently has since posted their article on New Life Church online. Read it -- it was good!
