This is the story of Uniting Communities (UC) which evolved from the Adelaide Central Mission, created by the Methodist (now Uniting) Church over 120 years ago.
It is a story of community support for people in need, through the provision of service delivery and through powerful advocacy to government and other authorities, fighting for social justice. Onwards and Upwards features individuals who provided leadership, staff with professional skills, and volunteers who give up their time to help others.

Adelaide writer Vincent Burke was born in war-torn London in 1942. Raised as a Catholic, he trained for the priesthood for several years, including a few years in Rome, but decided this was not for him. Penguin UK published his book about the first national strike by British teachers. More recently he has focused on commissioned works, such as the history of Southern Cross Care and this book, the history and development of Uniting Communities.
