Tuji mediji poročajo, da so odpustili ameriškega župnika Carla Lentza, h kateremu so zahajali številni zvezdniki, razlog pa: "moralne napake". Po dogodku se je oglasil tudi sam in pojasnil nastalo situacijo. Vse člane newyorške cerkve Hillsong so pristojni preko elektronskega sporočila obvestili, da so morali zaradi moralnih napak in kršitve zaupanja odpustiti priljubljenega župnika. Ta je postal znan pred leti, ko je krstil Justina in Hailey Bieber.

Our time at HillsongNYC has come to an end. This is a hard ending to what has been the most amazing, impacting and special chapter of our lives. Leading this church has been an honor in every sense of the word and it is impossible to articulate how much we have loved and will always love the amazing people in this church. When you accept the calling of being a pastor, you must live in such a way that it honors the mandate. That it honors the church, and that it honors God. When that does not happen, a change needs to be made and has been made in this case to ensure that standard is upheld. Laura and I and our amazing children have given all that we have to serve and build this church and over the years I did not do an adequate job of protecting my own spirit, refilling my own soul and reaching out for the readily available help that is available. When you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real and painful consequences. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that. This failure is on me, and me alone and I take full responsibility for my actions. I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura and my children and taking real time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need. I am deeply sorry for breaking the trust of many people who we have loved serving and understand that this news can be very hard and confusing for people to hear and process. I would have liked to say this with my voice, to you, in person because you are owed that. But that opportunity I will not have. So to those people, I pray you can forgive me and that over time I can live a life where trust is earned again. To our pastors Brian and Bobbie, thank you for allowing us to lead, allowing us to thrive and giving us room to have a voice that you have never stifled or tried to silence. Thank you for your grace and kindness especially in this season, as you have done so much to protect and love us through this. We, the Lentz family, don’t know what this next chapter will look like, but we will walk into it together very hopeful and grateful for the grace of God..

Ustanovitelj cerkve Hillsong je svojim vernikom sporočil, da bodo nad informacijo šokirani in dodal, da so odločitev sprejeli s težkim srcem. "Odločitev smo sprejeli v najboljšem interesu vseh vas in tudi župnika Carla. Razumite, da bi bilo neprimerno, če bi vam navedli podrobnosti za odpustitev. Odločitev smo sprejeli iz spoštovanja boga in ljubezni do vas, naše družine, do župnika Carla in njegove družine."

Oglasil se je tudi Lentz in pojasnil, da je bil nezvest svoji ženi. Pravi, da gre za najpomembnejše razmerje v njegovem življenju, za kar bo moral odgovarjati. Pravi, da prevzema vso odgovornost. "Zdaj sem na začetku poti ponovne pridobitve zaupanja žene Laure in otrok. Vzel si bom čas za delo in za izboljšanje svojega življenja, poiskal bom pomoč, ki jo potrebujem."

Lentz je bil eden najbolj priljubljenih župnikov cerkve Hillsong, pogosto so ga obiskovali tudi zvezdniki, med njimi sestri Jenner, Nick Jonas, pa tudi Justin Bieber in njegova žena. Postal je prava zvezda med župniki, cerkev Hillsong je namreč znana predvsem po svojih mašah. Te so glasbeno obarvane, obišče jih več tisoč vernikov.
