Claims have emerged of sexual and financial misconduct against a church leader who advised women in the church to physically submit to their husbands, including forcing them to have sex. The church has been accused of financial fraud and betrayal, with money being transferred overseas as gifts to church leaders.
Hillsong founder Brian Houston has stepped down from his position following an internal investigation. Houston is set to face court in December charged with concealing information about alleged child sex offences, which has brought up claims of lies, betrayals, and financial fraud against the church.
A church leader instructed women to physically submit to their husbands, even using force if necessary, while financial gifts were being sent overseas and arranged marriages were being broken.
