In the 1990s, Hart became a born again, evangelical Christian, as did his wife Bobby, and began to reflect his beliefs in B.C., persisting despite criticism from some newspaper editors and readers. He and his wife are members of a local Presbyterian church in Nineveh, New York where Hart has served as an elder.[4] (http://www.layman.org/layman/the-layman/1999/nov-dec99/hart-of-faith.htm)
