The new Discovery Plus documentary series "Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed" sheds light on its many scandals.

A year later, the commission found he had failed to report knowledge of child sex abuse to the authorities. According to the documentary, Frank repeatedly sexually abused at least one young boy in the late 1960s and paid him 10,000 Australian dollars as “compensation” in the late 1990 — when the abuse had been reported to the church but not yet to the authorities. HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones” follows the high jinks of a blithely hypocritical family at the head of a Southern church empire. According to the documentary, at least seven other men have since come forward to allege sexual abuse by Frank Houston between 1965 and 1977. “A Megachurch Exposed” aims to spotlight the many alleged wrongdoings of Hillsong, which now has locations in 30 countries. I’m still working out why exactly I quit going to church in my early 20s, about a decade ago; for a long time, all I could really muster was that I could no longer ignore the gnawing suspicion that I’d be happier if I did.
