Anna’s ex-husband Chris Pratt, who once compared himself to Jesus Christ, previously stated that he wants to “be a light” to people who “have no idea who God is.” As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations. If you didn’t know, Hillsong has faced allegations of endorsing conversion therapy and refusing leadership roles to LGBTQ people. The church’s senior pastor, Brian Houston, said in 2015, “Hillsong Church welcomes ALL people but does not affirm all lifestyles. Put clearly, we do not affirm a gay lifestyle and because of this we do not knowingly have actively gay people in positions of leadership, either paid or unpaid.” And while Zoe Church hasn’t officially spoken out against the LGBTQ community, its founder, Chad Veach, told the New York Times in 2018 that he modeled the institution on Hillsong, where he used to preach. Chris Pratt comparing the treatment church gives divorce s t r a i g h t couple to how they treat lgbt+ is a statement of privilege “I’m appreciative that he’s examining religion the way he is in terms of...starting to recognize hypocrisy,” she said, adding, “I’m appreciative we can have these long conversations.” “Anna Faris having these sort of conversations with him is a great start and a good way to teach him to critically think about what he believes,” one person agreed. “All parents should be doing this, imo. Kids need to be taught how to think, not what to think,” another comment read. “She is STRONG, dang this would be so challenging. Never considered what this specific scenario would be like as a non-religious person myself,” one more person said.
