In his elementary school years he attended both a Catholic parochial school in his native Seattle and an Anglican boarding school in Victoria, BC, Canada. His succeeding education was basically secular but included widespread “roaming.” He went to public high school in Seattle followed by Philips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and the Sherborne School in England. He has degrees from both Princeton University and the University of Oxford, where he was a Marshall Scholar. His marriage in 1958 to Susan, a Presbyterian-cum-Episcopalian, furthered his experience of inter-faith living.
His widespread journeying continued when in 1959 he joined the Foreign Service of the United States. After overseas assignments to Australia, Pakistan, India, France, and Nepal, he was named Ambassador to the Central African Republic in 1976, and subsequently served as Ambassador to Nicaragua, Kuwait, and Peru. Positions in the State Department included Director of the Office for Counter-Terrorism, Deputy Inspector-General, Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security, and Director General of the Foreign Service. Retired from the Foreign Service in 1996, he now teaches as Distinguished Diplomat in Residence in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, DC.
A faithful member of the Roman Catholic parish of Annunciation, Mr. Quainton also attends services at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, where at a weekly early-morning Eucharist, the attendees take turns giving homilies, among which are the essays in this book.lihat lebih sedikit
