Wil Cooper grew up among Plain Friends in Ohio Yearly Meeting in the 1920s and 1930s. Eventually he became dean of Earlham School of Religion, the first Quaker seminary. This well-written story illuminates the principles guiding Wilburite life and the adaptations Wil Cooper saw happen in a lifetime of Quaker public service.
