Thomas Thellusson Carter often known as T. T. Carter, T.T. C. or Canon Carter (1808-1901) was a significant figure in the Victorian Church of England, responsible for re-introducing some Anglo-Catholic practices to the Church, being the founder of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. He also founded several charitable organisations. He was a prolific writer on church matters. He was for 36 years the Rector of Clewer and an Honorary Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. With Harriet Monsell he co-founded in 1852 the Community of St. John Baptist (CSJB), also known as the Sisters of Mercy, or formerly Clewer Sisters, an Anglican religious order of Augustinian nuns. Carter's involvement in the establishment of this community, and his general commitment to pastoral work drew him into the provision of spiritual direction, which became a new focus of activity and led to the book, The Treasury of Devotion which appeared in 1869. He also became a pioneer of retreats within the Church of England. This work also led him into the controversial area of auricular confession, and in 1865, the book, The Doctrine of Confession in the Church of England.
