A former teacher at Gloriavale Christian School has said his granddaughter could have trained to be a midwife depending on how she approached the leaders at the commune.

Faithful Pilgrim is giving evidence at the Employment Court, which is considering whether six former residents were volunteers or employees.

When asked by Gloriavale Leavers lawyer Brian Henry if he knew what his granddaughter wanted to do for work, Pilgrim responded “not at all”.

Serenity Pilgrim was a student of her grandfather’s.

Earlier she has told the court that she wanted to be a midwife or a teacher but resigned herself to cooking and cleaning duties.
