The Canberra Times' front page on this day in 1962 reported on two Canberrans who said a sect known as the Exclusive Order of the Plymouth Brethren had broken up their families.
Mr L. Rogers, 63, said his happy marriage of 35 years standing was broken up by the sect. Mrs J. Ramage, of Griffith, said the order had expelled her mother, who had revealed that week she had been forbidden to eat or even speak with her father.
