As a lifetime cinephile who has watched Denzel Washington‘s illustrious career unfold over the years, I find myself deeply moved by his recent decision to obtain a minister license and be baptized at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ. This isn’t just another milestone in his impressive acting journey, but a testament to his unwavering faith and commitment to his beliefs.
On Saturday, Denzel Washington received baptism and was granted a minister’s license at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ, situated in Harlem, New York City (as reported by People). This event, which was streamed live on Facebook, happened a few weeks following Washington’s statement during the “Gladiator II” press tour that religious beliefs are not trendy in Hollywood. With this new license, Denzel Washington is now eligible for ordination in the future.
At the gathering, Washington expressed, ‘Exactly a week from now, I’ll be turning 70.’ It took some time, but I’m glad to say I’m still here. If [God] has managed this for me, imagine what He could do for you. The possibilities are truly endless.
At the time of his baptism, Washington was accompanied by his wife, Pauletta Washington. Withhelding emotions, she expressed her pride at being present as Denzel embarked on his new path in his spiritual voyage.
Forty-six years on, I’m right by his side, as it seems only destiny intended,” Pauletta expressed. “So I am incredibly proud of you. You lead our family and have demonstrated an exceptional example for our children, who are now grown adults, aware of the differences we’ve shown them.
In an interview with Esquire for their November issue, Washington commented that openly displaying strong religious beliefs isn’t currently trendy within Hollywood circles. He also noted, however, that this does not imply that there aren’t many individuals in the industry who hold such convictions privately.
Washington stated, ‘The beliefs about God I repeated in church as a child are now deeply understood by me. I recognize God as genuine, loving, unique, and the true path. I continue to honor Him, express gratitude towards Him, and ensure that every person I interact with throughout my life recognizes His influence in my life.’
When you look at me, you’re witnessing the best I can offer, shaped by what my guiding figure has granted me. I stand fearless, disregarding other people’s opinions.” He continued, “As for the courage aspect, it’s not something you can boast about and achieve success in this industry. It’s not something you can express openly here.
It’s generally anticipated that Washington could receive an Oscar nod for best supporting actor, given his acting in “Gladiator 2”. To learn more about the actor’s baptism event, visit the People’s site for further details.
