Quote:
Carl Lentz, pastor of Hillsong's New York City location, made..similar statements..on CNN in June, saying Hillsong in New York City has "a lot of gay men and women" and he hopes it stays that way. But he declines to address the matter in public because, in part, Jesus never did.
"Jesus was in the thick of an era where homosexuality, just like it is today, was widely prevalent," Lentz told CNN. "And I'm still waiting for someone to show me the quote where Jesus addressed it on the record in front of people... You won't find it because he never did."
Lentz's wife, Laura,..chimed in: "It's not our place to tell anyone how they should..live...That's their journey."

No, I wouldn't say Hillsong is turning homosexual. IMO it's worse... they're refusing to take any kind of stand. And, as was mentioned, if they continue this way it could cause other churches to do the same.
Carl is trying to be cool and mysterious about it, but when you line his words up with the Bible, it doesn't line up.
Really disappointed in what I've read and seen in the interview, but again, not surprised. It's all about the brand now.
