Leaving Hillsong

Just A Wacko - pt 2 Misogyny, Donald Elley and AoG Men

Ep. 39

Laura contacted blogger Donald Elley, an outspoken and extremist commentator on Hillsong and all things righteous and Christian. Laura was seeking resources for a documentary. Donald was seeking so much more, it became, in the words of BCH, unhinged.

    We talk a lot about white supremacy in the churches and Christian nationalism. But we rarely hear what it's like for someone from a refugee background, with brown skin who has been in the congregation and willing to speak truth to power. Truth to power. An important concept for those who aren't the ones telling the stories usually, because they're not the ones with the power. I'm so excited to hear from the brave, smart, and peace seeking, Bee on what all those smilling faces in all those crowds may well be thinking, feeling and living with in a place like Australia, the so-called Lucky Country. What does it take to get some of that luck? Come chat!!
