Richard Carbray moved with his family from Canada when he five years old. He was educated in the Catholic school system in Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and did graduate work at University College, Dublin. Carbray taught at Lakeside School from 1941-1949 with time out for Army duty. Later he was chairman of the language department of Lake Forest Academy, Illinois, and then taught at Rosary College, River Forest, Illinois. Carbray was an active member of the Catholic social movement and an early opponent of the Vietnam War and has taught courses on dissent at the University of Washington and various Seattle area community colleges. He was chairman of Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam (CALCAV) and worked closely with the Berrigans and other individual resisters and protest groups. As personal "peritus" to Archbishop Thomas, D. Roberts, he attended the Vatican II Ecumenical Council in Rome, 1964-1966. Carbray credits two men with having a major influence in his life: one was Gordon Zahn, who established his credentials in the peace movement as a Catholic conscientious objector in World War II; the second was the Most Rev. Thomas Roberts, S.J. former archbishop of Bombay and a persistent voice against war, especially in a nuclear age.
