Quakerism 101 with Max Carter
When we were filming the scene in the hut for the music video, Tom Clement and I had some down time with Max Carter and, having asked him to prepare a brief lecture on the history of Quakerism for the video, decided to let him run once through the whole thing.
What’s amazing about what follows is that Max did this without flinching, as Tom and I were moving around the room trying to get everything ready for filming the music video.
As I looked back over the footage, I realized that there is simply no online resource as concise and comprehensive as the (less than) five minute talk Max had just given. I went to work with the visuals, and would say, humbly, that the result is as good as the music video (some might say better!)

Dear Max,
I don’t think we have ever met, but I do want to say how say how right to the mark your brief discussion of early Friends was. I enjoyed it. Quaker history is making a comeback of sorts and although I am not, for the present at least, writing about Friends. I am trying to keep abreast of what others, Ben P-D, Carol Spencer, Tom Hamm and others are saying. I’ll have to add you to my list.
Peace and best regards,
Tom Kennedy

1997 Guilford Grad – just found this and am so pleased to see the Hut, Max Carter, and good folk streaking across our beloved Guilford as so many of us have done. Well done lad!
