Haggard Returns To Preaching
Four years after resigning from church leadership amid a gay sex scandal, evangelical preacher Ted Haggard has taken a first step toward resurrecting a ministry by incorporating a new church.
The St. James Church is located in Colorado Springs, the same city where Haggard founded New Life Church 26 years ago. Haggard was forced to resign as senior pastor of the 14,000-member megachurch in 2006, when it became public that he had been involved with a male prostitute.
In April, Haggard's wife, Gayle, registered St. James Church as a nonprofit located at their home address on Old Ranch Road, according to documents filed with the Colorado secretary of state's office.

Haggard told the Colorado Springs Gazette on Tuesday that St. James had been incorporated for accounting purposes, because the couple gives paid talks around the country. See Chick's HOME ALONE.
