The Elevation Church, one of those evangelical churches that offer free-ranging "worship experiences," has invited Ted Haggard and his wife to be its guest next Sunday. Haggard, you remember, made a career out of fiercely denouncing homosexuality until, oops, it turned out that Haggard was buying both gay sex and crystal meth. The purpose of having Haggard at Elevation, says Pastor Steve Furtick, is to "allow the story of Jesus to be told through a man who lost it all and his wife who stood by him." OK, we admit there probably is a lesson in forgiveness to be learned there. But that's probably not all that can be learned in this situation. Hopefully, Haggard will also "teach" the Elevators the best techniques for picking just the right same-gender partner for impersonal, guilt-ridden sex; his picks for best lubricants; where to score some meth; and how to make a living from being a two-faced, conflicted hypocrite.
