Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter resumed teaching Sunday school at
Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, on Sunday
after recovering from hip surgery, a spokeswoman for the Carter Center
said.
WSB-TV streamed Carter’s lecture, showing the 94-year-old
ex-president smiling and talking while seated in a white cushioned chair
at the podium.
He was released from the hospital on May 16 after falling and
breaking his hip as he was preparing to leave for a turkey-hunting trip,
the Carter Center said at the time.
Carter has lived longer after leaving the White House than any former president in U.S. history.
Carter was governor of Georgia before being elected president in
1976. He was defeated in his re-election bid by Republican Ronald Reagan
in 1980. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work on
international conflicts, human rights and economic development.
