Political upheaval led to the evacuation of most missionaries in 1965, including the Buckleys. Not long after their return to the field Buckley sustained a debilitating back injury which led to his resignation in 1966. On return to New Zealand Buckley engaged in part time pastoral ministry before joining the Bible Society in Auckland in 1976. Refs: NZB July 1966, 152; June 1976, 2.
