RNZ – Gloriavale veterans quit roles in wake of multiple scandals

RNZ News – 31/05/2022

Two senior Gloriavale leaders, Fervent Steadfast and Faithful Pilgrim, have resigned from their senior positions within the Christian community.

Some of the men’s failings were heard in the community’s Employment Court hearing last month.

Fervent Steadfast has been accused of improperly handling issues around employment and had already resigned as financial controller last year.

Steadfast has held his senior role in the West Coast sect since 1995.

Faithful Pilgrim was the former principal of the school but left that role in 2020 after failing to protect children in his care.
