From the rear cover
A Story of the Ongoing Struggle for Peace in Our Violent World
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. His life-long dedication: to interact lovingly with citizens of the world in pursuit of peace and nonviolence.
His determination to help his fellow human beings put him in sometimes compromising and often dangerous situations with American law enforcement, foreign governments, and the church alike. He was:
- Kidnapped at gunpoint in Gaza,
- Arrested at the Pentagon,
- Chained to the gates of the American Embassy in Saigon,
- Participated in the release of American POWs in Vietnam,
- Served at the side of Mother Theresa in Calcutta, Arrested by Swiss Guards for saying Mass on the steps of theBasilica of St. Peter in Rome, and
- Awarded the Key to Ho Chi Minh City in gratitude for his efforts to end the war in Vietnam.
Father Bury's life reads like an adventure novel. But this is not fiction. It is the testament of a life lived to make a difference. Against all odds, with unwavering faith, he carries his message of love, peace, and non-violence as a priest, political activist, and warrior for peace.
Nearing his 90th year, Father Bury puts his story on paper, hoping it will inspire and encourage all who care about humankind living in peace and without violence, to carry the message, do the work, continue the struggle, and never give up.
Harry J. Bury, Ph.D. is an American Roman Catholic priest and Professor Emeritus of Organizational Behavior and Administration from Case Western Reserve University. He taught at Baldwin Wallace University from 1980-2010 and consulted in the U.S. and numerous other countries.
