A member of Ted Haggard's now-defunct restoration team says he and the others wish the former megachurch pastor would have followed their counsel rather than doing what he is now.
H.B. London, vice president of Pastoral Ministries at Focus on the Family, had joined the team overseeing a counseling program for Haggard after a highly-publicized drugs and sex scandal three years ago led to the once influential leader's resignation from the presidency of the National Association of Evangelicals and forced him out of church he founded, New Life Church in Colorado Springs.
Together with Jack Hayford of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, Calif., and Tommy Barnett of First Assembly of God in Phoenix, Ariz., London had set out three years ago to guide Haggard through what the team expected to be a long process toward recovery.
After just 14 months, however, Haggard asked to end the team's oversight of his recovery program despite the overseers' belief that "the process of restoring ... is incomplete."
