Theophila Pratt

Theophila Pratt, born Honey Faithful, is a former member of the fundamentalist Christian commune Gloriavale, from which she escaped nearly nine years ago. Her memoir, 'Unveiled', chronicles her harrowing experiences within the community and her subsequent adjustment to life outside its confines. During her time in the commune, Pratt faced strict control and abuse, especially from its founder, Neville Cooper. Since leaving, she has settled into a new life and has advocated for awareness regarding the psychological and societal impacts of such closed communities. Pratt continues to speak out about her experiences, aiming to inspire others who may be trapped in similar situations.
