The Christian Post article is quite interesting, and goes into more detail. That tweet response was lashing back at Ed Crenshaw, and (why am I not surprised?) using his daughter to do it. “Even with their comments about HR changes and how they dropped the ball … It gives too much blame to Carl Lentz and doesn’t take responsibility for how, in their own situation, they have failed victims, even going back to the victims of Frank Houston,” Crenshaw told CP. And, I think, when it comes to dealing with somebody like my daughter who had an accusation against the son of Hillsong’s top HR guy, and she reports it to the wife of Hillsong’s chairman of the board … that they tend to slip into self-protection mode, and I think they are still in that,” the Pennsylvania pastor said. “They’ve developed a habit of self-protection. Her father, Pastor Crenshaw, contends that the focus on the East Coast scandals under Lentz has taken the spotlight off what he sees as a broader problem in how the denomination, in general, has handled abuse. I think at least part of it is now flat out personal in that Brian Houston feels attacked by Ed Crenshaw, and part of that comes down to this statement in The Christian Post article: *Hillsong has made no apology to Crenshaw about how the matter was handled. I have no idea if that information was in the public domain before that or not. Whether abuse happens in Pennsylvania or Australia, it’s tragic.”Ĭrenshaw's father saved and republished it, Houston apologised for including information about the prior abuse. My understanding is Anna was originally abused in her father’s church in Pennsylvania. “ A number of things in the article are factually wrong, but abuse is NEVER OK. Houston then published - and later deleted - the following tweet: *Also in April The Christian Post published an article (not paywalled) about the assault. *Mays got a 24 month good behaviour bond and was re-employed about 12 months into that Hillsong responded with an email in April saying they were launching the investigation *this was after a petition from Hillsong College students about how the case was handled. * they've engaged international law firm Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan to conduct an independent review of how they handled the case.
