"BTW I was under a misapprehension that Carter was Anglican- in fact he was a Quaker. It doesn't change the fact that he would probably have torn his face off and thrown it in the corner if he'd read this discussion."

Your original thought was correct. He was an Anglican who found himself more at home with the Quaker affirmation of the presence of God in all human beings and it's lack of ritual. He was however buried according to the rites of the Church of England. He was a man who thought that religious "truth" was more important than the label you gave to the church you attended.
