My take on it is that Carl Lentz from Hillsong New York is more accepting of the gay position (not saying he agrees with the lifestyle). Now that the media has become involved Brian had to step in and make a declaration. This could of been prevented if they made a clear cut public statement earlier instead of being wishy washy.
Brian realises he had to say something publically or get greater backlash from within and other churches. I'm glad he made this statement.
