Hillsong Church is no stranger to controversy when it comes to their Christmas productions, most of which feature lascivious displays of writhing flesh and poor choices, resulting in Hillsong frequently deleting the videos so as to avoid criticism.
As a result, the famed megachurch has put on a lot of awful productions in their time. There was the insane one, the satanic Buddhist dance, the one depicting Jesus born in a riotous bar, (since deleted), Hillsong’s sensuality Christmas show with fleshly dancers, the Hillsong show with women writhing in nothing but towels, and their infamous ‘Silent Night Sleazy Night’ Christmas special from several years ago (also since deleted).
While we eagerly await to see what offerings will come from their 2021 extravaganzas, a newly unearthed 2019 production from Hillsong UK shows yet another example of the lengths that they’ll go to keep the flock entertained has emerged. As a point of reference, this is the same church where earlier this year, the pastor bragged he had the ‘Hillsong Starter Pack’: Fedora, Leather, Boots, Skinny Jeans, and Hot Wife.
In this case, in a show that had half topless men dancing around and a bizarre scene where two men danced and then popped a leg after a spin, they did a rendition of Tina Turner’s ‘Rolling in the River’ with altered lyrics dressed in immodest attire. We have no idea why they felt this was necessary, but then again it’s Hillsong, and very little surprises us anymore.
