Denzel Washington Becomes a Minister After Baptism Ceremony


Denzel Washington has taken a significant step in his spiritual journey. The Hollywood star, known for his Oscar-winning roles, was recently baptized and received a minister's license.

The special ceremony took place at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in New York City on Saturday. Denzel wore a white robe and a burgundy stole with crosses as spiritual leaders baptized him. The actor kept his head bowed as he was immersed in the water, marking a meaningful moment in his faith.

After the baptism, Denzel was presented with his ministry license. This allows him to perform ministerial duties, officially recognizing him as part of the clergy for the Churches of God in Christ Worldwide.

His wife of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, was there to support him. She sat in the front row and recorded the ceremony, showing her pride and encouragement as her husband began this new chapter in his life.

Denzel joins other celebrities who have reaffirmed their faith through baptism, including Justin Bieber, Kat Von D, Demi Lovato, and Mario Lopez.

This holiday season, it seems Denzel is embracing the true spirit of Christmas, focusing on faith and spirituality.
