Religion and Politics

Leonardo Blair of The Christian Post writes that a law firm’s independent report alleges that former Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz verbally abused parishioners and staffers and engaged in extramarital affairs. Blair writes, “It presents an unflattering view of Lentz as a lying, massage-loving, adulterer who presided over a congregation in which he did as he pleased in a hierarchy where he seemingly answered to no one.” Lentz was fired from the church in November of 2020.
