Hollywood actor Denzel Washington has taken a significant step in his faith journey at the age of 69. On December 21, 2024, Washington was baptized at Kelly Temple in New York City and officially became a licensed minister. The ceremony, led by Archbishop Christopher Bryant, marked a pivotal moment in the actor’s life.
During the baptism, Washington shared a powerful message with the congregation: "It took a while, but I’m finally here…If (God) can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky is the limit." His words resonated with many, emphasizing the transformative power of faith.
This milestone comes shortly after Washington opened up about the challenges of speaking openly about religion within Hollywood. In an interview with Esquire, he admitted that discussing religion is not common in the industry, and it can be a barrier to success. Despite this, he remains steadfast in his faith, stating that he is unafraid to share his beliefs, regardless of the industry's stance on the topic.
