The founder of Australian megachurch Hillsong, Brian Houston, has resigned after it was determined that he had breached the church's code of conduct at least twice over the past decade by behaving inappropriately toward two women. The New York Times reports that the 67-year-old's resignation came after an internal investigation by the church's board.
In recent decades, Hillsong became a multimillion-dollar enterprise. At its peak two years ago, it had congregations on six continents, as well as an average weekly attendance of 150,000, according to the church. It counted among its congregants stars such as Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez.
