Father tells of rescuing kids from New Zealand’s Gloriavale cult
Tuesday April 28, 2009 Gloriavale Community
For hundreds of people living in a cut-off community called Gloriavale on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Neville Cooper speaks the word of God. For his son Phil, Neville Cooper was a controlling, manipulative, sexual deviant who set out to dominate every aspect of his life – from who he could marry to what he named his children.
Phil Cooper has told his story in a book, Sins of the Father, which has been released recently.
