As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the intersection of personal growth and public figures, I find Denzel Washington‘s recent spiritual milestone to be a testament to his unwavering commitment to self-discovery and personal development. His journey, marked by humility, resilience, and an unyielding faith, is one that resonates deeply with me, as it mirrors the path many of us tread in our own lives.
Actor Denzel Washington recently expanded his professional journey by taking on a role in ministry. Over the weekend, he was baptized and granted a minister’s license during a service held at Harlem’s Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ.
The First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Eastern New York broadcasted Washington’s service on Facebook. In attendance at the event were his wife, Pauletta Washington, and other immediate family members, as reported by TMZ. Approaching his 70th birthday, the two-time Academy Award-winning actor expressed thanks for achieving this spiritual milestone.
Washington said, “In one week, I turn 70. It took a while, but I’m here.” He wore a white robe and a burgundy stole with crosses as spiritual leaders immersed him in baptismal water.
Openly expressing his strong religious convictions, Washington has spoken out about his faith in the entertainment world before. Topics like these aren’t often discussed within the industry, but he’s been resolute in sharing his spiritual journey.
In an essay for Esquire, he wrote: “It’s not fashionable. It’s not sexy. But that doesn’t mean people in Hollywood don’t believe. There’s no such thing as Hollywood anyway. What does that even mean? That, to me, means a street called Hollywood Boulevard.”
As a devoted admirer speaking directly, I’d like to share that, unlike some might assume, we don’t gather together to deliberate our beliefs. Therefore, I can’t say for certain how many fellow actors share my faith. I didn’t conduct a survey on the matter. Frankly, I’m not aware of any actor-centric religious meetings I’ve attended.
In a similar vein, Washington has recently followed in the footsteps of notable figures like Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and Mario Lopez by publicly declaring their religious beliefs after undergoing baptism at a later stage in life.
Beyond achieving this significant spiritual milestone, I’m excited to share that I’ll be gracing the silver screen soon, in the much-awaited collaboration between Spike Lee and Apple Original Films/A24 titled “Highest 2 Lowest.” This extraordinary production also boasts the talents of Ice Spice and A$AP Rocky. Can’t wait to join these remarkable artists on this exciting journey!
