Dundas resident Peter Rosser has published his first book.

Rosser, who spent 37 years in youth ministry with the Catholic Youth Organization, has written "Crimes Against Children," which he describes as a vision of God as the ultimate conveyor of restorative justice in a thought-provoking drama.

Subtitled "Discord in the After-Life: A Bishop and an Atheist Deny Their Culpability for Abuse and War," Rosser uses his two central characters as vehicles of his own protests against the Catholic Church’s ongoing sexual abuse scandal and the collateralization of civilians, especially children, in today’s regional wars.

A book launch party is planned for June 26, 1-3 p.m., at Dundas Museum and Archives, 139 Park St. W., Dundas. RSVP to sarahrosser@hotmail.com.
