Haggard making publicity rounds

Published: January 29, 2009 by Carla Hinton Comment on this article Leave a comment

The documentary on evangelist Ted Haggard is to air on HBO tonight, but for those who don’t have the cable channel, there’s still a way to see and hear from the former megachurch pastor.

I happened to catch the last 15 mintues of a segment on Haggard on the Oprah Show last night. He was pretty forthright. They showed footage of he and his family moving several times because they made an agreement with their former church New Life Church of Colorado Springs, that they would not live in that community for a year after the scandal that erupted around his involvement with a male prostitute. 

Apparently, Haggard was also interviewed on Nightline last night.

He is to be a guest on Larry King Live on CNN tonight for those who didn’t catch the previous interviews or who can’t watch “The Trials of Ted Haggard,” the HBO documentary airing tonight.

It will be interesting to see how the public treats Haggard after the documentary and this latest round of publicity.

He has said he seeks forgiveness and understanding.
