RECRUITING SCANDAL:

Pastor in gay scandal: I'm back from 'wilderness' (ERIC GORSKI, 1/09/09, AP)

"I am guilty. I am responsible," Haggard, 52, said Friday in a phone interview. "I got off track, and I am deeply sorry and I repent ... I'm moving along in a positive direction." [...]

During a guest sermon last November at a friend's church in Illinois, Haggard said a co-worker of his father molested him when he was 7, an experience that "started to produce fruit" later.

No comment.
