At some time during their
lives, the following people have publicly identified themselves as Christian.
Inclusion in this list does not indicate approval or disapproval of the
person, of their orthodoxy or lack of it, or of their actions. Some of those listed may surprise you.
Readers are encouraged to suggest
persons who should be included on this list. This is a recurring segment in this blog.
Bob Newhart: ((b. 1929,
Illinois, USA; aka: George Robert Newhart) Stand-up comedian, television and
film actor. Roman Catholic.
Virginia Quinn Newhart: Wife
of Bob Newhart. Roman Catholic.
Chloe Grace Moretz: (b.
1997, Georgia, USA) Child film actress most known for her controversial roles in Kick-Ass
(2010) and Carrie (2013). She says
that her family is “very Christian.”
I am not sure what she means by that and whether or not she, herself, is a Christian..
Reginald Howard White: (b. 1961, Tennessee, USA – d. 2004;
aka: “the Minister of Defense”) College and professional football player and a
member of the Hall of Fame at both levels. Ordained Baptist minister and
evangelist. His views on race and
homosexuality became very controversial.
Late in his life, he learned Hebrew and studied under Nehemia Gordon, a
Karaite Jew, who is based in Jerusalem. White's profound interest in Torah led many to believe that he became a Jew,
but he never renounced his Christian faith.
Daniel Meyer: (b. 1957) World’s only Christian sword swallower. Clown, juggler, stilt walker, fire eater, glass eater.
