Tom Hanks is happy to be a member of the Orthodox Church
Moscow, May 21, Interfax – Hollywood actor Tom Hanks appreciates his membership in the Orthodox Church and intends to raise his four children in similar vein.
“I am aware that it is vitally important to come to church and contemplate those substantial questions put by the Orthodoxy and the answers it offers,” Hanks said in an interview published by Argumenty i Fakty.
According to him, when a man arrives at a decision to marry and have children, “it is crucial to define spiritual heritage of a future family at this stage.”
“I consider Greek Orthodoxy my own spiritual heritage. I got married in the same church where my wife had been baptized. My children were baptized in the same baptismal font as my wife,” Tom Hanks said.
According to Hanks, this makes his family “a part of the large universal Church”.
“We go to church on rare occasions, but when we do, we have dinner together and discuss our feelings after that,” he added.
