ROMA DOWNEY TO RECEIVE HOLLYWOOD STAR NEXT TO HER HUSBAND MARK BURNETT [Excerpts]

Christian actress and producer Roma Downey will join thousands of legends on Hollywood's Walk of Fame - right next to the star of husband and Walk of Famer Mark Burnett.

Burnett, along with Hollywood Chamber President/CEO Leron Gubler, Della Reese and Pastor Rick Warren, will unveil the star in the category of Television on August 11th.

"We are thrilled to honor Roma Downey. She has been a force in the business of entertainment, both as an actress and talented producer," stated Gubler in a press release made available to The Gospel Herald.

While Downey is best known for her nine seasons as the gentle angel on the hit CBS television show "Touched by an Angel", the Irish-born actress has also earned her place among Hollywood's top producers, currently serving as President of LightWorkers Media, the faith and family division of MGM, and as the Chief Content Officer for MGM's planned OTT initiative.

The Emmy-nominated actress frequently discusses her Christian faith and has in the past revealed that she and Burnett have never made a decision "big or small" that they haven't prayed about.

[TBC: Although we have documented that Roma Downey is no biblical Christian, it is helpful to see what other commentators have seen. “Downey graduated from Santa Monica University, which is a New Age school founded by notorious New Age spiritual and self-help guru John-Roger, with a degree in Spiritual Psychology…Included in her training was how to be a Divine Being having a human experience….

In a Washington Post interview, Downey affirmed that she was a Roman Catholic. Then she said, “…and so, um, and I see, I, I see God in everyone, um, and in everything, you know.   I guess, when I’m looking for inspiration myself, I probably find it most in nature, and the beauty and um, the magnificence of nature. And, and, you know, the, the, and I’ve heard once that…two things that have struck me as profound, that, that, there are two points of view, perhaps.  That there is no God, or that there is only God.  And for me there is only God. Um, that you could see nothing as a miracle, or you could see everything as a miracle, right? So, um, that and then just that, that the language of God in science, perhaps. And um, you know, from this, from I was a very young age, um to, to my education, but really, through my, my father’s guidance, encouraged to listen to what he called, you know, your God voice, which is the, the, still, quiet, voice inside of yourself, that, that you know what’s the right thing to do, that you know the kind thing to say, and I’ve always tried to be guided by that” (Actress Roma Downey on religion, faith, Washington Post, 02/09/2012), Fisher, cited in "Is Roma Downey a New Age Adherent?," TruthKeepers Online Blog, March 10, 2014.]
