WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO…..
HILLSONG
NEWYORK CITY has an engaged openly homosexual couple leading the choir.
Geoffrey Grider, a Christian
minister, published a viral blog post on Hillsong NYC's openly gay and engaged
members, Josh Canfield and Reed Kelly, on Sunday, August 2.
The sources that Grider points to to
support his claims include a Jan. 29 Playbill article on Canfield that includes
comments of his that were originally published in a December interview. In that
interview, Canfield speaks about coming out of the closet at Hillsong NYC, and
states that he is "one of their choir directors" and also sings on
the worship team.
"I became truthful with my
church. I'm a part of Hillsong NYC. I'm one of their choir directors. I also
sing on their Worship team. They've been amazing as well," Canfield said.
"Nothing has changed there now that I'm completely out and with Reed. He
sings in the choir as well. I found that being an honest person has actually
come with a lot of benefits. People are more sincere with you, and you find out
a lot more about other people when you become honest."
The New York Times noted two months
prior, in an October 2014 article suggesting that Houston had
"shifted" on gay marriage, that "some of Hillsong's churches
appear to be open to gays and lesbians." The article stated that Canfield
and Kelly "worship and sing in the choir at Hillsong New York" and
that "Canfield is a volunteer choir director at the church."
