Jimmy Carter and Park Chung-hee

Re: Is Bush the Holiest of Them All? Verily, No: Many presidents have openly held strong religious beliefs.

From the above article about the religious beliefs of American presidents past and present, I learned of this historic encounter:
    "But perhaps the best religious factoid about Carter is that he took the opportunity of a private car ride to the airport in 1979 to try to convert Park Chung Hee, then president of South Korea and a Buddhist, to Christianity. What's more, Carter was so proud of his effort he told his Bible class all about it."
