On Instagram Wednesday, the 48-year-old actor questioned his followers about the Church and asked different questions surrounding the act of baptism.
"I've been going to church, a church where they do Alpha courses. I guess that's sort of Church of England. I've been to a Catholic Church, and I'm considering going to an Eastern Orthodox Church," Brand, who has starred in several movies throughout his career, said in an Instagram video.
"Do you think that different denominations and distinctions are important when you look at God and the figure of Christ from, as best as one might claim, a universal perspective?"
Brand asked his followers if it is possible to be "universal" on topics such as kindness, service, surrender, gratitude, and understanding suffering, even if it's God's Will.
"I know that there are numerous distinctions ecclesiastical and ontological, but I feel that at the moment, I'm moving towards a kind of moment of baptism. I mean, are you baptized?" Brand asked.
"Did you get baptized as an adult? Would you do it in a river? Would you do it in a font? Do you want to get fully under there? Because, me, I want River Jordan or River Thames, at worst. I want proper plunging." CT.
