Former President Jimmy Carter taught a Bible lesson on life after death Sunday less than two weeks after breaking his pelvis in a fall. Tony Lowden said Secret Service agents, relatives and fellow church members all discouraged Carter from teaching because of the injury, but he insisted. Carter remained for the worship service after teaching, sitting in a pew beside his wife, Rosalynn, and singing hymns with the congregation. Referring to the former president and Jesus Christ by their initials, Lowden gave thanks for Carter in prayer. “The greatest thing I’ve learned as a pastor here is watching J.C. follow J.C.,” Lowden said.
