A friend writes a religion-themed blog you may dig:

Carter was also a devoutly religious man, and a big member of the Christian organization Baseball Chapel. When I was a producer at WFAN, I got to speak to him directly on the phone once. He was extremely friendly and I asked him about his experience with Baseball Chapel and he reported that it was a great experience and something that he often encouraged young players to participate in. “It helped remind me to have a heart for others and for my teammates.” I remembered early in the 86 season, Mookie Wilson was hit in the eye with a baseball, shattering his sunglasses. Carter rushed to him and calmed him down. “Did the glass break, Mook? Oh God it did! OK just stay put, we got you!” Carter admitted thinking that Mookie might lose his sight right then and offered a few prayers and hoped that he’d return soon. As we now know, he certainly did and played a big role in the 86 championship.
