It was Darlene and my great honor to meet Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter with other Mennonites, missionaries and leaders of the Nepali churches. Jimmy promised to speak to King Birenda about persecution of Christians in his country of Nepal.

What a great tribute to EMU. And how great that many could retell stories of the ways in which the Carters shined light on the school and all who were connected to it. What a great article that points out how lucky the Carters were to have known and interacted with Mennonites from EMU. We should be very proud of ourselves and what the Carters thought us. I hope many read this article and remember it’s main emphasis, which is how great EMU is. Just beautiful!

Perhaps you have already checked this out, but I think that Doug Nyce, brother of Ed and Pam is also a EMU grad. He was the Director of Alumni Relations for a number of years. If, in fact, he is a EMU grad, please publish a correction. Thanks. Dave

I feel like growing up Mennonite entitles me to the 6° of separation theory with the Carters. But more so, family friends visited their church while in Florida, sat in on Jimmy‘s Sunday school class, then met them later. Which would have been more significant…visiting them there or in the Oval Office?
