Jesus Caritas

This book narrates the story of a friendship. But more than that, it is the story of the life journeys of two extraordinary men — Fr Gerry Reynolds and Rev Ken Newell. Both men have vocations for peace and reconciliation. As a Catholic Priest and a Presbyterian Minister, the two have had long and exciting journeys of faith and discovery. The result of their friendship — the Clonard-Fitzroy Fellowship — was honoured in 1999, when Pax Christi awarded it the annual peace prize for work on peace, justice and reconciliation encouragement to all Christians who recognise the gospel's call for peace and reconciliation.
