Politics

In 2005, Haggard was listed by Time magazine as one of the top 25 most influential evangelicals in America.[10] Haggard is a firm supporter of President George W. Bush, and is often credited with rallying evangelicals behind Bush during the 2004 election.[11] Author Jeff Sharlet reports that Haggard "talks to . . . Bush or his advisers every Monday" and opines that "no pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism."[12] However, after allegations of homosexual relations with a gay prostitute and also drug use became public, White House spokesman Tony Fratto sought to downplay Haggard's influence on the White House said that Haggard was only occasionally part of the weekly calls between evangelical leaders and the White House and had visited there only "a couple" of times.[13]

In a June 2005 Wall Street Journal article, "Ted Haggard, the head of the 30-million strong National Association of Evangelicals, jokes that the only disagreement between himself and the leader of the Western world is automotive: Mr. Bush drives a Ford pickup, whereas he prefers a Chevy."[14]

Haggard believes that fighting global warming is an important issue, a divisive issue among Evangelical leaders. Though he personally supported the Evangelical Climate Initiative, the NAE did not adopt a position.[15]

[edit] Teachings on homosexuality

Haggard has condemned homosexuality, preaching that "we don't have to debate about what we should think about homosexual activity, it's written in the Bible." Haggard opposes same-sex marriage, but has suggested that states should be free to enact civil unions for homosexual couples.[16]

Under Haggard's leadership, the NAE released "For the Health of the Nation: An Evangelical Call to Civic Responsibility" in the fall of 2004,[17] "a document urging engagement in traditional culture war issues such as abortion and gay marriage but also poverty, education, taxes, welfare and immigration."[17] The NAE has stated that "[h]omosexual activity, like adulterous relationships, is clearly con*demned in the Scriptures."[18] Haggard focused ministry efforts on homosexuals early in his Colorado Springs ministry by frequenting gay bars and inviting men to his congregation.[19]
