no, let's ignore the other celebrities that are mentioned in the article and focus on Chris Pratt
Official Staff Communication
This thread is locked as the premise is disingenuous. While Chris Pratt is the subject of this thread, there is also multiple other celebrities who attend this same specific church. The OP, however, chose only to focus on Chris Pratt despite the other celebrities being listed in the article as well.
Additionally, Hillsong, originally founded in Australia, is a megachurch denomination that has a weekly attendance of 100,000 people in 80 churches worldwide. The allegations of sexual abuse are by the founder of Hillsong's father in Australia.
Being upset at Chris Pratt for attending a Hillsong church is equivalent to being upset at a Catholic attending mass in New York City because a Catholic priest in Australia is sexually abusing children.
As a side note, it is important to note that a church denomination's beliefs are not always in step with the beliefs of someone who attends that church or even a specific church within that denomination. People who make sweeping generalization statements about religion (whether churches, mosques, Christians, Jews, etc) will be actioned appropriately now and in the future.
