“I’ve know people who are 100% avid Hillsong supporters, those who are ambivalent and some who would boycott Woolworths or Gloria Jeans in the mid 2000s simply because those businesses were affiliated with the church (monetarily or not). However something I think should be reviewed is the Hillsong Camps. They may not still be being held, I don’t know - but in the early to mid 2000s there were camps held for teens as ‘fun get-aways’. (Think summer camp in America.) Not so much in actuality - think ‘straight is great!’; gay camps were held and caused insurmountable harm. The Church has been in media and publicised for many things, but the hurt and damage it did to its own youth and those around it is echoing years later and needs to be told. I hope this podcast can help with the much needed airing of truth.”
