Jimmy Carter, beloved Sunday school teacher, former president, dies at 100

Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, was known most as the 39th president of the United States. But he also will be remembered as the world’s most famous Sunday school teacher.

Carter, who spoke openly about his Baptist faith while campaigning for the White House in 1976, earned the votes of many evangelical Christians when he called himself “born again.”

Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by family, according to a statement on the Carter Center website.
