Carter were very kind to us throughout the service. Sensing her apprehension, the former President motioned for the chaplain to lean down close to him and, when she did, gave her a big kiss on the cheek! The chaplain seemed at ease for the rest of the service.īoth President and Mrs. President Carter asked the chaplain, “Have you had your shots?” and when she said, “Yes,” he replied, “Well, you can take that mask off if you want to.” The chaplain hesitantly proceeded to remove the mask. The church’s pastor introduced the chaplain-who was the only person in the church wearing a mask-to President Carter. To my surprise, she asked, “Would you and your wife like to sit with me and Jimmy during the service?” Without hesitation, I replied, “Yes, ma’am!” and we made our way to the front pew.Ī couple of minutes later, a guest chaplain from the Navy made her way into the room. Carter made her way to the back of the sanctuary and introduced herself to me and my wife. A few minutes after we arrived, President Carter was wheeled into the sanctuary and seated adjacent to the front left pew. The church was mostly empty on that particular day.
Maranatha Baptist Church followed suit and the service was their first unmasked one since the pandemic began. The federal government had recently issued guidance stating that fully vaccinated individuals did not need to wear masks anymore. We knew that President Carter was no longer teaching Sunday school, but we enjoyed our previous visits so much that we decided to visit again. On May 16, 2021, my wife Catherine Comer and I traveled from Savannah to Plains to attend church at Maranatha Baptist Church. Luke Moses: A kiss and the healing power of prayer
ALISA KISS HOW TO
Everything I know about how to find common ground, and how to build peace, I learned from Jimmy Carter. After my father, I think Jimmy Carter is one man who had the most compelling influence on me. I moved on from the Carter Center in 2000 and since then have had a 20+ years career working on sustainable development and peace issues and now work for the African Development Bank. President Carter was seeking to encourage dialogue and peace in the countries of the Great Lakes region of Africa, which were experiencing intense political conflict and violence during that period. This one was with the President of Burundi at the time. Carter on a trip to Africa and joined their meetings. I was working as a program coordinator at the Carter Center on human rights, democracy and conflict resolution at the time. This picture was taken in 1995 in Burundi. This was the trip of a lifetime and we will never forget it! Ever! Holly Ozsan: ‘Hi Wesley, I’m Jimmy’ He adores children which is why my nephew Khelton is right next to him, which is where President Carter wanted him so that he could hug him. President Carter made us all feel so special. Three generations-my mom, her children and her grandbabies-ranging from four years old to 58. We thought it was so awesome to see the police cars that had a message that read, “Home of the 39th President.” We also took pictures next to the road signs that read the same! We were so excited to be in President Carter’s hometown and seeing him and taking a picture with him made our trip that much more special. We enjoyed our trip to the train depot where he shared many speeches. We also visited his childhood home and got to see his bedroom. Saturday was a blast, as we visited President Carter’s high school and watched a video of his life. We were visiting from Barnesville and we had the BEST time ever! We went to Plains on Saturday and stayed overnight. This picture was taken on March 18, 2018! My family and I wanted to attend one of President Carter’s Sunday School lessons.
