Bush Attends Casual Church Service

In his latest effort to find a place to pray, President Bush attended an informal church service featuring guitar folk music and a harmonica version of “Amazing Grace.”

“Welcome to the family,” the Rev. Glen Evans told Bush and his wife, Laura, who sat in the front row of the Clarendon United Methodist Church in Arlington, across the Potomac River from Washington. “It’s an honor and a privilege.”

Bush and the first lady, who took up residence at the White House on Jan. 20, are trying out Washington-area churches before deciding where to worship on a regular basis.
