He has not only preached the Gospel of Christ with the simple message of 'Love one another,as I have loved you' but he has lived that message throughout his entire life.
The first volume of the story of his life is set out in 'Mister, are you a priest?'.That book described his early and family life, his studies and ordination until his appointment as Bishop of Derry in 1974 where the present volume begins.

That was not admitted by the British Government who claimed that both men died in cross fire between the Army and terrorists, and there was no proof that the fatal bullets came from an army weapon. The book is also dedicated to Rev.... Read more ›
