Former U.S. President
Jimmy Carter dies at 100
PLAINS, Ga. (BP) — Former United States President Jimmy Carter, who spoke of his faith more openly than other modern leaders, taught a Baptist Sunday School class for decades and became the nation’s longest-lived president, died Sunday, Dec. 29, at age 100. A member of Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga., Carter was a third generation Southern Baptist and the first U.S. president to call himself a “born again” Christian. Despite this, his unsuccessful Democratic bid for reelection in 1980 fueled the rise of the Religious Right as evangelicals concluded he didn’t stand where they did on important policies from abortion to stopping the spread of communism, which threatened religious freedom abroad. Carter “helped activate a massive army of politically minded evangelicals in the elections that followed — most of whom have voted for Republicans ever since,” Michael Duffy and Nancy Gibbs wrote in “The Preacher and the Presidents.”
