Synopsis

The story of Ted Noffs, a maverick Methodist minister, whose groundbreaking work with the young and destitute in 1960s Australia lives on through his son and grandsons. But with one major difference; the Christian message is no longer part of the mission. Ted Noffs founded The Wayside Chapel in 1964 establishing, for first time, drug referral and rehabilitation centres as well as helping the city’s poor and needy. Over time he developed the “Family of Humanity” a belief that encompassed every faith.
