The former Methodist church in Linden, N.C., is now the worship and meeting home for a controversial whites-only group, the Asatru Folk Assembly.
Parkers Grove United Methodist Church has stood for a century along the road into tiny Linden, New Jersey in the US, yet recent decades have not been kind. The church s wood exterior is cracked, its steeple weathered, its sign broken. Its congregation, which had struggled to fill the 18 pews, held the final service several years ago. Parkers Grove was sold in early 2020, and its demise in this community would be little different than the foundering of other mainline churches across the rural South except for one detail: The buyer was the Asatru Folk Assembly, an obscure white supremacist group.

This MLK Day, his message is as poignant as ever after Capitol racism, NC leaders say Martha Quillin, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Jan. 16 In what is sure to become an iconic documentary photo, rioters climbing the west wall of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in their jeans and winter coats are starkly silhouetted against the building s pale gray stone.
As the siege played out for hours on laptops and TVs, many Americans who watched couldn t help but see another glaring contrast: the relative ease with which hundreds of mostly white supporters of President Donald Trump were able to illegally occupy the building that serves as the heart of American democracy on the day Congress planned to affirm the victors of the 2020 presidential election.
