A True Story of the Ongoing Struggle for Peace and Justice in Our Violent World • By Father Harry J. Bury, Ph.D., A Priest, Professor, Political Activist, Steward for Peace • This is the story of one man’s unique journey around the world, in the name of human connection, peace, and active nonviolence. Father Harry J. Bury is a Catholic priest unlike any you have ever met. His travels through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Costa Rica, Philippines, Africa, Palestine and Israel, span over 60 years.
