Church Clarity Responds to Hillsong's Statement on Inclusion Claims (Church Clarity)

A response page from Church Clarity, a transparency watchdog organization that independently rates churches on whether their public statements disclose an actual policy on LGBTQ+ membership, leadership, ordination and marriage. The page addresses a public claim by Hillsong pastor Brian Houston that the church welcomes all people, rating the church Unclear, Non-Affirming: the statement addresses whether LGBTQ+ people may attend services while omitting whether they may hold leadership roles, be ordained, or marry within the church, and Church Clarity states the church does not hire LGBTQ+ individuals for ministry roles or ordain them. Church Clarity calls for a plain yes-or-no policy disclosure rather than the ambiguous language Hillsong has used.
