The secretive Christian community has been in the headlines recently after it was revealed community member Clem Ready assaulted his children.
His daughter Prayer Ready, who had down syndrome, died in June 2015 after choking on food. Her sister left the group after her death and told police about what had happened.
Ready was convicted for the assaults and sentenced to 12 months supervision in the Greymouth District Court in May 2018.
