This lively history by well-known historian Peter Lineham features over 100photographs and takes readers inside a remarkable organisation working at thefront lines of a society in which poverty has become entrenched. For 100 years the Auckland City Mission has been the lynchpin of the city' scompassion towards and support for the poor, the marginalised and the homeless. Perhaps the best known of the city' s charitable organisations, many thousands ofAucklanders have been involved with the work of the Mission. Its story, marked attimes by struggle, is colourful and peopled by memorable characters.
Professor Peter Lineham has for many years written and lectured extensively on the religious history of New Zealand. His recent work has focused on broader trends in contemporary religion. His most recent book is Sunday Best: How the church shaped New Zealand and New Zealand shaped the church (2017). He is currently engaged in various projects on new religious movements in New Zealand, and on Brethren, Protestant, Evangelical and Anglican history.
