By L. H. Mettananda

Catholic Action by L H Mettananda

 

Below is the important and brave book, Catholic Action by L H Mettananda. A reply to the Catholic Union of Ceylon. The book was published by The Bauddha Jatika Balavegaya (BJB) in 1963. It has been transferred to digital format and edited by this sites administration. This has required some minor adjustment to its format and the diagrams have been re-created as closely as possible to the original but in a contemporary format.

We would like to acknowledge some key people who contributed to the book during its writing.  Gunaseela Vithanage, Founder and Secretary of the BJB, worked with L H Mettananda in creating the book while contributions were made by Nissanka Wijeyaratne, a Civil Servant and Historian, and Professor K.N. Jayatilleke.
