Christian Faith
In the mid-1970s, Foot became a born-again Christian while staying with the L'Abri Fellowship in Hampshire. His personal faith caused significant inner turmoil for him as he struggled with addiction for much of his life. However, he truly believed in the Bible and the message of redemption and forgiveness of sins. In his unpublished autobiography, he constantly refers to the 'demons of temptation' and his failure in living a life that reflected his beliefs. Foot was an active member of Grace Community Church in Morval, Near Looe in Cornwall where his portrayal of a cockney Doubting Thomas during a number of services is remembered well. His faith formed a core part of his identity and motivation.
