Rita Wilson: Why I Love My Greek Orthodox Faith
Friday August 7, 2009
In a video interview with Sally Quinn, producer of "On Faith" at The Washington Post, actress and producer Rita Wilson (one half of a Hollywood celebrity super couple with Tom Hanks) shares why she loves the Greek Orthodox faith ("I love my church. I find the Greek Orthodox Church a sort of a wonderfully moderate, accepting faith."), her brief period as a reborn Christian during her teenage years, and what gives her life the most meaning.
Some highlights from the interview include:
When you were growing up, were you always a believer? I've always been a believer. I always have been.
What do you pray for or about? I always start my prayers with a prayer of gratitude for all the blessings in my life because without those, you can't really think about anything else.
What is the divine for you? I sense the divine in the goodness that I see in people--their acts of kindness, their acts of selflessness; those people inspire me.

At least she’s a Christian and not a Gaia worshipping Wiccan. In Hollywood that’s probably the best you can hope for.
