Brian Houston Apologizes to Hillsong for Misconduct, Still Sees God’s Work Ahead: ‘We Have No Intention of Retiring’
Steve Warren with CBN News reports:
Former Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston has apologized to church members in an email sent one week after the church’s global board announced his resignation for inappropriate behavior in separate incidents involving two women, including a former staff member.
In the email obtained by the Australian news outlet Eternity News, Houston, 67, apologized to church members, and his wife Bobbie with whom he co-founded the now global megachurch in 1983.
The former global senior pastor also admitted to using alcohol to cope with the “many years of constant pressure, opposition, challenges and attacks, accompanied by my personal turmoil over my father’s evil.”
“Many people have asked – ‘How do you continue to get up, cope, and keep going?’ And now we know the answer. I haven’t coped very well at all. I openly admit that alcohol has been no friend and I am determined to relegate it to my past,” Houston wrote.
