Brian Houston said he will"vigorously defend" himself against criminal charges alleging he concealed his father's sexual abuse.This article contains references to sexual abuse.
Mr Houston said the court process is expected to be lengthy and so he and the Hillsong board decided terminating these commitments would be in the "best interest" of himself and the church. "We have talked about the effects of the situation with my father, which go back many years up to the current legal case, and the impact this has had on me emotionally," he said.
In a court hearing last November, police argued Mr Houston knew information that could help secure the prosecution of his father and failed to bring it to the attention of police."These charges have come as a shock to me given how transparent I've always been about this matter," he said at the time.
Hypocrisong
it is a mystery to me why people listen to anything religious leaders have to say. like, find god on your own. it's less expensive and likely doesn't involve child-fucking.
The least surprising headline in weeks.
Is that the 2nd or 3rd announcement of this nature
About time all religion was taxed.
Hope he blames scotty
If only the catholic church was this brave.
visiting a pal near the Hillsong HQ in Redfern today..some lovely cars in their indoor car park..Mercs , BMWs, Audis etc
Scumbo's best mate and spiritual advisor! What a time to be alive huh?
Wow such an outstanding Christian.
Not to worry…he’s got plenty of tax free cash to spend on the best lawyers money can buy
Scomo must be devo! auspoI Hillsong
At long last.
So, rules being rules and recent enlightenment that well know public figures with questionable history/opinions are deemed a 'risk to public health and safety', and not allowed in the country, will the home affairs minister envoke ministerial powers and ban Brian Houston?
He must to go to jails because he know he covered some criminal specially when he covered criminal abuse about little children, he is part of the crime
Is he running for Warringah?
Imagine writing this article and never mentioning that this guy is the spritual mentor & close confidante of the Australian Prime Minister. Talk about burying the lede.
If he former denied this, what does that lead one to believe our the Pms teaching earlier.
Oh no! Who will lead the congregation to ensure tithings are paid and sexual abuse claims are suppressed?
GlennMcBurney1 Does Hillsong have any pastors left? Between the ones caught cheating on their wives and covering up historic child sexual abuse there can’t be many available.
And Scomo wanted to take him to meet Trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When is ScottMorrisonMP going to disavow any knowledge of the activities at Hillsong church? Is a reporter going to ask Scotty if he is ending his friendship with Brian Houston? samanthamaiden andrewprobyn aclennell MattDoran91 michellegrattan latingle CroweDM
Geez... you couldn't make this stuff up
“Come One, Come All”… to the LNP zealots masquerading under the words “conservative” & “Christian” who show all the compassion of strychnine cough syrup.☠️ Let’s take a moment to consider Morrison embraces a guy (Brian Houston) whose alleged to have covered up child sex abuse.😔
Stepping down from his mlm cult ... here he is at the Royal Commission hearing, good to see he's smiling.. auspol media would be proud.
Let's hope he is not lying. Jesus will be angry! For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality. Colossians 3.25
Hillsong founder ‘told man his father sexually abused it was victim’s fault’
What responsibilities? Lying on stage?
Hope his anxiety isn’t too mild. Which father btw?
Rest assured BrianCHouston I will use all my political clout to ensure you stay out of jail, much like we did with George Pell. insiders ScottyFromPhotoOps Speers Coorey Hillsong HillsongCult ScottyFromHillsong

You silly silly people... they cause all these atrocities right in front of your eyes... yet you still choose to believe in their FABLES
Only the privileged & protected get to “ step down” most get arrested & bailed!
Well, that mob do like practising the 'laying of hands' hey ScottMorrisonMP
He actually accused the victim of seducing his father. Get yr head around that.
But doesn't hiding pedophilia make him even more qualified to run a religious organisation?
