Home for the heteronomous | "Get a job — and some human rights!" Monday, November 06, 2006(11:00 PM) | Adam Kotsko: Follow-up on HaggardVia an e-mail discussion group, I found Ted Haggard's public statement. I was deeply impressed by the humility and grace he showed -- accepting full responsibility and discouraging anyone from blaming either his accuser or his wife (the latter had been the topic of conversation in some right-wing circles, wondering if she was somehow failing to meet his needs). Obviously I still have a lot of very serious reservations about Ted Haggard and about what he stands for, but in this moment, he showed a remarkable level of sensitivity and just basic human decency that I'm not sure I would've been able to muster if my life were totally collapsing around me. |
