7. Reading the article, sounds like there are more out there besides
this one guy (well ok, we pretty much figured it wasn't a one time thing)

In a letter e-mailed Friday to New Life Church members, Boyd said of the settlement and agreement not to talk: "This decision was made not as an attempt to conceal wrongdoings, but to protect him from those who would seek to exploit him. His actions now suggest that he has changed his mind."

The letter said the church "received reports of a number of incidents of inappropriate behavior" after Haggard's fall. "In each case, we have tried our very best to do the right thing each time, including disciplinary action when appropriate."

Boyd said the "inappropriate behavior" referred to the man who was the volunteer involved with Haggard. After Haggard's fall, another church staff member resigned after admitting to what was described as "sexual misconduct."

(emphasis mine)


Wonder how much the church paid out in "compassionate assistance — certainly not hush money." Does their insurance cover this? Or just the continually fleeced flock?
