Two pastors of New Life Church will be guests of Sen. Ken Salazar at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning in Washington, D.C., in part to highlight the resiliency of a faith community under challenge.
On Dec. 9, gunman Matthew Murray entered the New Life campus in Colorado Springs and opened fire, killing two sisters and wounding others before he was shot by a security guard and then killed himself.
A year ago, the church was caught up in a scandal involving founding pastor Ted Haggard, who acknowledged "sexual immorality" and resigned.
Salazar, D-Colo., will introduce President Bush at the 56th annual prayer breakfast.
