Arizonans will honor the life of Sen. John McCain at a memorial service at North Phoenix Baptist Church. McCain and his family attended the church for many years.
The service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday.
McCain,
who was raised Episcopal and later attended a Phoenix Baptist church
with his family, rarely spoke publicly about his Christian beliefs.
However, when talking about his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he
often shared how he was able to keep faith.
McCain, who died Saturday at age 81, was
raised in an Episcopal family and attended a private all-boys boarding
school where he was required to attend chapel services.
He spent three years at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, before graduating in 1954.
"This
country has lost one of our great public servants and our school family
has lost one of our most inspirational examples of the intellectual and
moral courage our school's mission calls on us to develop in each of
our graduates," said Head of School Charley Stillwell in a statement.
