Denzel Washington has been baptised and taken his first step towards becoming a minister.

The Hollywood actor took part in a special ceremony at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ, in New York City’s Harlem neighbourhood, on Saturday during which he addressed the congregation to make a speech about his faith and was immersed in water.

According to New York Post column PageSix, Archbishop Christopher Bryant revealed Denzel said: “In one week I turn 70. It took a while but I’m here. If [God] can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit.”

The actor’s wife Pauletta Washington also spoke of her pride in her husband’s spiritual achievements, saying: “Forty-six years later, here I’m still standing next to him as only God will have it.
