Hillsong founder Brian Houston dropped a bombshell on his worshippers announcing he was stepping aside from all church activities while he defends allegations he concealed his father’s child sexual abuse.
The pastor for the powerful evangelical church was charged in October last year with one count of concealing the serious indictable offence of another person.
Police allege Mr Houston knew from September 1999 that his father Frank Houston had indecently assaulted a male in 1970.
