After months of speculation, it seems that Barbara Walters is set to name actress Sherri Shepherd<\/a> as a co-host of “The View.” The formal announcement<\/A> is expected Monday. While we who slave away in offices all day to bring you the very latest in faith-in-entertainment news are not able to watch the morning gabfest regularly, we were heartened to know that show is bringing in another person of faith–Christian faith, specifically. In a 2006 interview with Beliefnet, Shepherd said:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a follower of Christ, but I keep making a whole bunch of mistakes. And I thank God for forgiveness. I don\u2019t know what Christian means. I keep falling down. I get back up. I\u2019m trying to stay in the race.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
