Jimmy Carter, who passed away recently, was one of those rare American and world leaders who made a positive impact in his country and the world in both the presidential and especially the post-presidential phases of his life. He won the Nobel peace prize in 2002 for his humanitarian efforts around the world through his NGO Carter Center and which played a major role in eliminating the dreaded guinea worm disease . Hence he is remembered with respect and affection around the world. He was noted for his work on peace and wanted the US to be a leader of peace rather than the world's largest supplier of weapons. He had also expressed his concerns over American democracy and felt that it has become an oligarchy instead.
I think he actually embodied what Christians should be and acted morally, unlike the phony, unthinking ones of today.
