RAW VIDEO: Brady Boyd Speaks To New Life Congregation About Scandal

New Life Pastor Brady Boyd addressed the congregation on Sunday about another scandal surrounding the church. Allegations have surfaced that the former church leader, Ted Haggard, reportedly had a sexual relationship with a volunteer at New Life.

"In 2007, he hired an attorney who negotiated with our insurance company for a settlement. I want to clarify that tithe money wasn't used," said Pastor Brady Boyd.

While this relationship just came to light, the church says they knew about it for a few years.
“From my pastor's heart to yours, I'm sorry for the wound that's reopened for you," said Boyd.

Apparently, the young man came forward in 2006 about his alleged relationship with Haggard shortly after a male prostitute, Mike Jones, revealed a cash-for-sex relationship with the former preacher.

"For 2 years, I carried that information to protect you." Boyd said he didn't tell church members because he wanted them to move forward.

"One day, we’ll have scar tissue, but it will not define us," said the pastor as the congregation clapped.

This week, HBO is airing a documentary on Thursday night, “The Trials of Ted Haggard”, which follows him after he left New Life.
