Overview
Max L. Carter spent 45 years in Quaker secondary and higher education, the last 25 at Guilford College, where he retired in 2015 as the William R. Rogers Director of Friends Center and Quaker Studies. This book reflects on the last 12 years of his work at Guilford, primarily in campus ministry.
