Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are sharing a pew and a pulpit Tuesday at an Atlanta church, where hundreds of mourners are remembering former Georgia Gov. and U.S. Sen. Zell Miller.

The funeral at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church is the second of three public services for Miller, who died Friday at the age of 86.

“Zell Millers just don’t come along very often,” said the Rev. Bill Britt at the opening of the service, with Carter, Clinton and Bush seated on the first pew near Miller’s flag-draped casket.
