Brian Houston. Photo: Jeff Gilbert/Shutterstock/Jeff Gilbert/Shutterstock Brian Houston, who co-founded the global hipster megachurch Hillsong, has been asked to return to Australia to face charges of failing to inform police when he discovered his father was assaulting children.
Houston and his spouse and church co-founder, Bobbie, have been in the United States and Mexico recently. The Australian press were slightly scandalized at their recent departure from Australia, which has instituted strict COVID travel restrictions. Spokespeople for the couple said they qualified to leave the country because they planned to be gone more than three months.
Houston’s legal plight isn’t the only crisis the church is contending with. This week, the Southern California chapter of his family has been grieving the death of Stephen Harmon, an active member of the church in Los Angeles. Harmon came to national attention when he tweeted “I got 99 problems, but a vax ain’t one” and then fairly promptly died from complications of the coronavirus.
Not exactly role-model behavior, but he may not be much of an influencer anyway. Hillsong is still suffering from having to fire its ripped star pastor Carl Lentz for generally being a bad dude last year, plus the ensuing defection of Justin Bieber. The sexual-abuse inquiry can’t have helped matters, and Hillsong doesn’t appear to have prospered during the pandemic, at least in the U.S. Many locations remain online-only; the church’s YouTube views are not impressive.
