The recommendations highlight its value in enhancing understanding and skills related to pastoral support.
Lynch critiques the notion of a purely rational society, positing that emotional and sacred elements are essential to social existence. He asserts that modernity hasn't eliminated the sacred but instead has transformed it, manifesting in new forms centered on humanity, nature, and national identity. This exploration reveals the persistent influence of the sacred in shaping contemporary social dynamics.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of post-war child welfare schemes, particularly focusing on the migration of around 3,500 unaccompanied children from Britain to Australia between 1945 and 1970. It explores the involvement of various organizations and scrutinizes the UK Government's decisions that allowed these schemes to persist despite known failures to meet child-care standards, as highlighted in the 1946 Curtis Report. The examination extends to the broader implications of government systems and departmental responsibilities, shedding light on the vulnerabilities faced by these children and others in similar contexts.

From 1853-1967, around 3000 children were sent to new homes through child migration programmes run by churches, charities and religious orders in the United States and the United Kingdom. Intended as humanitarian initiatives, these schemes have in many cases since become the focus of public censure, apology and sometimes financial redress.
