Traditionally, don't heads of state and very wealthy people have private chapels in their residences? I think the real story is why isn't there a chapel in the White House?

Peggy,

I’m not sure if the article deals with “regular attendance” so much as membership.

But it did get into the topic. It mentions that President Reagan "wasn't a member officially anywhere" but it should probably explain that he was a member of a church in California during his presidency. I think he was a member of our own Brad's church. And it mentions that Bush worshiped at Camp David rather than pick a church. I liked the greater detail it provided on Carter and Clinton.
