For the first time since revealing details of his cancer diagnosis, former President Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school in his hometown, drawing hundreds of well-wishers to the tiny Baptist church he has attended for much of his life.
His grandson said it was the 689th time he had taught classes there.
Before Carter started the lesson, he briefly recapped the details of his cancer diagnosis — how doctors had found melanoma had spread to his brain after undergoing surgery to remove part of his liver.
Then, he said, "That's enough of that subject."
He next pivoted to a 45-minute lesson on faith and love.
Carter promised the crowd at the church he would be back to take photos with them after teaching a second class at the nearby high school. He asked the crowd to come up in groups.
