Fallen Pastor Seeks Aid to Pursue Studies



COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 25 (AP) —

The Rev. Ted Haggard, who left the 10,000-member megachurch he founded after admitting to “sexual immorality,” has asked supporters for financial help while he and his wife pursue studies in counseling and psychology.

Mr. Haggard, the former pastor of New Life Church, plans to seek a master’s degree in counseling at the University of Phoenix while his wife studies psychology, he said in an e-mail message sent this week to KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs.

The couple and two of their sons are planning to move Oct. 1 to the Phoenix Dream Center, a faith-based halfway house in Phoenix, where Mr. Haggard and his wife plan to provide counseling, the e-mail message said.
