Description

A story of love over hate. The Wayside Chapel, in the heart of Sydney's Kings Cross, is a meeting place for people from all walks of life - have-nots and haves, homeless and housed, atheists and believers, lost and saved, sick and well. In Wayside Reverend Graham Long tackles profound truths about life, death, friendship, hardship and the redemptive power of love. Acclaimed photographer Gary Heery's striking portraits honour the visitors, volunteers, staff and friends whose paths cross at the Wayside.
