Denzel Washington was baptized and presented with a minister license on Saturday at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ, which is located in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood (via People). The ceremony, which was livestreamed on Facebook, took place a few weeks after Washington told  Esquire during his “Gladiator II” press tour that being religious in Hollywood “is not fashionable.” By obtaining a minister license, the Oscar winner can now be ordained in the future.
