Unity snapshots

  • Unity in Auckland formally began meeting under Claire Bunting’s leadership in July 1967. Unity of NZ was registered as a charitable trust in 1973. A number of leaders and ordained ministers served the Unity congregation and Silent Unity. Rhonda Joy Gola became spiritual leader of Auckland Unity in 1997.

  • After operating from a succession of locations, Unity & Silent Unity purchased an Avondale property to serve as headquarters. In 2000 Rhonda Joy Gola became a Licensed Unity Minister serving Unity in Auckland. Rev. Rhonda received a certificate of ordination as Unity Minister in 2003. She also continued as Director of Silent Unity & Daily Word NZ.

  • Unity sold the Avondale property in 2005 and rented a building in Mt Albert Road. In 2007 the ministry celebrated 40 years in NZ, with Rev. Sky St John and Rev. Laura McAfee Gaut as guests. That year the ministry began printing Daily Word in Auckland (in time, for Australian distribution also). Over the years notable guests from around the world spoke in NZ, and Rev. Rhonda served on Interational groups. 2017 marked 50 years of Unity in this country.

  • In 2020 Rev. Rhonda retired as Unity minister for NZ but served as volunteer director of Silent Unity & Daily Word for a further year. Lindy Burton, as chair, steered Unity through the Covid period. Rachel Wotten and then Jacqui Berry served as Director of Silent Unity. Rev. Rachel became NZ’s Unity minister in 2024, and was ordained that year. She served until being appointed to a senior role at Unity World Headquarters in 2025.

  • Jacinda Faloon-Cavender became chair of the board in 2024 (also on the board: Daisy Larkin, Gayle Barbery, Colleen Brennan). In August 2025 Jacinda resigned from the board and Dr Greg Morgan became chair.
