AN Australia's Got Talent finalist has been embroiled in claims the church he grew up in tried to force him to give up stardom.

Geelong-based Taylor Henderson, 17, was given an ultimatum to quit the show or be banished from the Geelong Revival Centre, it is revealed.

It is believed Pastor Noel Hollins told Taylor to choose between the church and his place on the Channel 7 reality show.

"He was given some options and made decisions and he's a free person," Pastor Hollins said yesterday.

"He had the opportunity to make his own decision and that's all there is to it."

News of the ultimatum surfaced less than 24 hours after Taylor and his father Cameron surged to stardom in Tuesday night's Australia's Got Talent grand final.

Cameron, 42, was runner-up to Sydney-based dance group Justice Crew, while Taylor won enough nationwide votes to finish third.

The pair were at the family's Ceres property yesterday coming to grips with their stardom as music industry offers began pouring in.

Even the Geelong Advertiser was contacted by a company hopeful of signing Cameron to a contract.

The Hendersons declined to comment on the controversy, instead choosing to focus on their careers.

However, a former Geelong Revival Centre member who wished to remain anonymous, yesterday revealed details on the saga.

"Three weeks ago, he was marched to the pastor's office and given an ultimatum: give up the competition or don't attend the church and he chose the competition," he said.

"Australia's Got Talent is considered worldly, a way of making a living. Certain careers in Geelong Revival Centre are not considered ethical or spiritual.

"It's unlikely for a lawyer to be part of the Geelong Revival Centre ... careers for women are frowned upon. This church is divided. It divides people and families."

Word on Taylor's plight spread quickly on an internet forum developed by ex-members of the Geelong Revival Centre.

One person, known as Brett, said the decision to banish Taylor was poor.

"How utterly typical. Will Noel ever realise that he has pretty much single-handedly killed the moving of the Spirit in the GRC?"

"Taylor and Cameron have that talent or gift, why not use it and share it with those less fortunate.

Are sister wive Mormon?

No. The Brown Family are members of the Apostolic United Brethren. Kody and Janelle grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the 'Mormon' Church) but left because of their belief in and desire to practice polygamy (the Mormon Church banned polygamy nearly 125 years ago). The Apostolic United Brethren is an offshoot of the Mormon Church and continues many of the same beliefs and practices, including belief in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith.


Does the Mormon church financial support the sister wives?

Most definitely not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned polygamy over 100 years ago. The Church does not provide financial support to any sister-wife. The Church will provide in-kind help (food, clothing, emergency supplies, job training, etc) to people outside of their faith who apply for assistance. If you are speaking of the Sister Wives tv show, no. The Browns of the tv show are not members of the Mormon Church. Both Kody and Janelle left the Mormon Church to join the Apostolic United Brethren. Their church may provide financial support, but the Mormon church does not.

Who was the leader of the Latter Day Saint movement in the 1800s?

The following is a list of Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the dates they presided over the church during the nineteenth century:Church first organized: 6 April 1830Joseph Smith: 1830-1844Church guided by Twelve Apostles, lead by Brigham Young: 1844-1847Brigham Young: 1847-1877Church guided by Twelve Apostles, lead by John Taylor: 1877-1880John Taylor: 1880-1887Church guided by Twelve Apostles, lead by Wilford Woodruff: 1887-1889Wilford Woodruff: 1889-1898Lorenzo Snow: 1898-1901*Note: By the precedent set following Joseph Smith's death in 1844 when a president of the Mormon Church dies the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as a body immediately becomes the highest governing council of the church. When the council decides it is best to re-organize the First Presidency the most senior Apostle becomes president of the church. Since the death of Wilford Woodruff in 1898, each time a president of the church has died the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has elected to immediately re-organize the First Presidency.
