Preaching two years after his downfall following the disclosure of drug use and a long-standing relationship with a male prostitute, former evangelical leader Ted Haggard opens up publicly for the first time. ABC’s exclusive leads with Haggard’s suggestion that being molested by a man at age seven may have caused him to enjoy consensual sex with a man at age 50. But the more interesting point in Haggard’s sermon, which apparently was available on his website until ABC announced it, was his view of how evangelicalism and secular media interact:

I believe that he [God] gives us opportunities every couple of years to communicate the gospel worldwide through secular media and we consistently blow it. A congressman in trouble, that’s the time. A family member gets himself in horrible trouble, that’s the time. A preacher gets himself in awful trouble, that’s the time.
