Maverick priest

"Priest, professor, political activist, servant 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, Ph.D. 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 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: arrested at the Pentagon in 1969, chained to the gates of the American Embassy in Saigon in 1971, served at the side of Mother Teresa in Calcutta in 1971, arrested by Swiss Guards for saying Mass on the steps of the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome in 1971, participated in the release of American POWs in Vietnam in 1972, con-celebrated Mass with Pope John Paul II at Mother Teresa's Beautification Mass in 2004, kidnapped at gunpoint in Gaza in 2005, and awarded the key to Ho Chi Minh City in gratitude for his efforts to end the war in 2014"--
