He lived in Japan for over 20 years,〔(Requiem por Nagasaki ) : "Glynn, un Marista australiano que ha servido más de 20 años en Japón."〕 learning the country's language and culture through Buddhist texts. There he wrote ''A Song for Nagasaki'', a book recounting the life of Takashi Nagai, a radiologist who converted to Catholicism and survived the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaski. Paul Glynn is also the author of ''The Smile of a Ragpicker'' and ''Like a Samurai – the Tony Glynn Story'' (see Tony Glynn). Paul Glynn has been a Catholic priest since 1953. He has devoted a lifetime to reconciliation and friendship between Australia and Japan, the two former wartime foes. He was inspired to follow Padre Lionel Marsden, a former prisoner-of-war of the Japanese on the Burma Railway, to work for reconciliation with the people of Japan. He subsequently helped his brother Tony, who was also a promoter of reconciliation with Japan. He is a recipient of the Order of the Rising Sun from the Japanese government and the Order of Australia from the Australian government for reconciliation work between Japan and Australia. He initiated Australia's first Sister City relationship with a Japanese city – between Yamato Takada in Nara Prefecture and Lismore in northern New South Wales – half a century ago.〔(Living Histories Interviews Series 2011 ), Father Paul Glynn.〕
