Carleton, Alford, 1903-1983
Reverend Dr. Alford Carleton began his career as a teacher at American College in Tarsus, Turkey, to which he was assigned by the Congregational Christian Churches' mission board in 1924 after graduating from Oberlin College. He was ordained from Hartford Theological Seminary in 1930, then returned to the field for the next 24 years. He was president of Aleppo College in Syria for 17 years.
In 1954 he was elected head of the Congregational Church's American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and saw that body through the negotiations with the Evangelical and Reformed Church. The two churches merged into the United Church of Christ in 1957 and Dr. Carleton became leader of its Board for World Ministries.
