COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Former megachurch pastor Ted Haggard says he'll continue to hold weekly prayer meetings at his home.
Haggard says he was heartened by the 150 people who showed for last week's first prayer and he wants to continue the gatherings at his home every Thursday.
Haggard is the founder of New Life Church in Colorado Springs. He resigned three years ago after a male prostitute revealed that the pastor paid him for sex for more than three years.
At the time the church had 14,000 followers.
Haggard told Denver's KUSA-TV that he still has homosexual thoughts but does not have temptations.
