PLAINS, Ga. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (BOO'-tuh-juhj) and his husband, Chasten Glezman, joined the large crowd at former President Jimmy Carter's Sunday school class in rural South Georgia.
At Carter's invitation Buttigieg stood and read from the Bible as part of the lesson at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains.
"You know him?" Carter had said earlier in reference to Buttigieg, drawing a laugh from the crowd.
Carter told the audience that two other Democratic presidential candidates, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) of Minnesota, had previously attended his classes.
Scores of people arrived before dawn for a chance to hear Carter, 94, speak.
Entering when most people already were seated, Buttigieg's unannounced visit elicited a murmur from the crowd.
"Who's that?" asked a man seated in the back of the room.
"Mayor Pete, the guy running for president," a woman answered.
Carter said he knew Buttigieg from working on a Habitat for Humanity project in Indiana where the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, volunteered.
Many in the class greeted Buttigieg and took photos with him before Carter arrived in the sanctuary and took a seat in the front to teach.

(5,156 posts)2. I attended Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class about 20 years ago;
it's one of those precious events you treasure in your heart.
Jimmy and Rosalyn are so gracious to all their guests.
Wasn't that kind of Jimmy to invite Mayor Pete to participate in the reading?
I'm sure Mayor Pete benefitted personally from being in Jimmy's class.
