[NP SCOOP! Dig it.]
It seems like it took them forever, but the pastoral selection committee has selected a candidate to replace the fallen Ted Haggard as the senior pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.
First off, here is a recap of what goes on in the Pastoral Selection Committee and what is needed to confirm the candidate for Senior Pastor.
From a New Life Church email written by Lance Cole:
As a reminder, here is how the selection process works. The Pastoral Selection Committee is responsible for researching, interviewing, selecting and presenting one and only one candidate to the Board of Overseers of New Life Church. With their approval, that candidate may speak in every service for up to three weeks. Then, the voting members of the congregation (those with a 2006 giving record) will gather for a meeting where each will be allowed to cast an up or down vote. A 2/3 majority is required to elect the candidate as the next Sr. Pastor. While we are not endeavoring to expedite this process ahead of God’s timing, nor are we in anyway dragging our feet, we are well ahead of the national average of 18-36 months that churches usually take to go through this transition.
So who is it going to be? The answer is Brady Boyd, an associate pastor from Gateway Church in Southlake, TX. From the pics I can come up with by Google stalking him he looks fairly straight and free of illegal drugs. Good lookin’, very pastoral guy.
Brady Boyd oversees a segment of the staff and ministries of Gateway Church as part of the Senior Pastoral Team, which includes Gateway Groups. He is also one of the primary communicators on the Gateway team, preaching often in the weekend services and to the leaders and ministry staff of the church.
Brady has a passion for training and releasing leaders. He frequently ministers in area churches and enjoys equipping leaders in the areas of prophecy, leadership, church health and small group ministry.
Before coming to Gateway in March 2001, Brady served as the Senior Pastor of Trinity Fellowship Church in Hereford, Texas. He is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University and has experience in television and radio broadcasting as well as sales management.
Brady and his wife, Pam, have two children: Abram and Callie.

meet the new boss
just the same as the old boss.
hey you quoted Pete Townshend from 1971 HOW COOL!
“training and releasing leaders”…. an army of zombies, and surely not on bikes.
Something about that line just totally freaks me out and makes me scared.
Hey, look everybody, the enemy has been re-personified. Brady Boyd? Seriously? There’s a mysteriousness about this man. Perhaps the answer to the mystery lies within a clever anagramation of his name…
Some possibilities:
Bad Boy Dry
Bad By Dory
Bay Bod Dry
Rad Body By
Day Bob Dry
A Bod By Dry
Uncovering Ted Haggard’s anagrams clearly elucidate the nature of his scandal, thusly:
Tagged Hard
Hard Gadget
Using this logic, we must assume that Brady Boyd’s scandal will involve him sucking dry a Bay Area boy named Bob Dory who has a rad bod.
Divination is awesome. I’m a goddamned prophet Elijah.
Hilarious!
One must wonder, then, what wouldst be the scandal in the church of senor padraig, with Padre Soaring at the helm:
groaned pairs
angora spider
daring operas
grand soapier
raped signora
praised organs
praised groans
ordain pagers
adoring spear
diaper sarong
arraign dopes
senor and sue, remind me never - EVER - to play scrabble with you!
Too much time on your hands….don’t you people know that it’s Klayton Elliot Kendall’s 34th birthday and that he should be feted in grand style? We are lucky to have him in our little town…
looks as gay and as in denial as pastor Ted.
He definitely has the “Evangelical Smile”, creepy and alarming. Sound the klaxons, the devil is among us.
yes, but it isn’t quite “cocksucker’s cramp.” give the poor guy a break, he hasn’t even looked up the local mangina yet.
But fortunately he has the key to escape reality
And you may see him in church with an evangelical smile…
He chased a rainbow down a one-way street… dead end
And all his friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
g-g-g-g-g-g-gay!
Today’s paper says that Pastor Boyd, at the age of 16, tossed Christianity out of his life and turned to marijuana, alcohol and “immorality.” He barely escaped wrecks, arrests and death.
I like him already!
I have 0 problems praising jesus for weed, booze and immorality! YEAH!
BRING ON THE VICES
