About The Author
Vincent Burke
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.
