A hotel room encounter with an unnamed woman was the second incident. Brian Houston, the founder of the Australia-based Hillsong megachurch and also one of its pastors, has resigned after the church discovered that he behaved with two women. The board of the church accepted the resignation of the Global Senior Pastor, Brian Houston, in a statement on Tuesday. The two incidents that resulted in complaints against Houston were detailed in a statement by the Hillsong global board. Multiple news outlets reported that the incidents involved women. Houston sending inappropriate text messages to a staff member resulted in her resignation. At the time, Pastor Brian was under the influence of sleeping tablets and had developed a dependence on them. The board wrote in its statement that he apologized immediately. During a global staff meeting held hours before the statement's release, the church's acting head Phil Dooley described Houston's text messages as essentially saying, "If I was with you, I'd like to kiss and cuddle you." In the second incident, Houston became disoriented due to consuming an excessive dose of anti-anxiety medication along with alcohol. According to ABC News, Houston had been drinking with a group of people at a Hillsong conference in New South Wales. The board wrote in its statement that Houston's actions had violated the church's code of conduct.
