Tiny Minnesota town to vote today on allowing white supremacist church

Asatru Folk Assembly wants to create a Midwest hub in the Swift County town of 275 residents.

A small, quiet Swift County town is set to decide Wednesday whether it will become a regional gathering place for a Nordic heritage religion that's been identified as a white supremacist group.

The City Council in Murdock, Minn., a community of 275 residents some 115 miles west of the Twin Cities, has scheduled a vote on granting a permit allowing the Asatru Folk Assembly (AFA) to use an abandoned Lutheran church as its third "hof," or gathering hall. The group operates two other halls in California and North Carolina.

The group's arrival has sparked a wave of activism in this farming community along U.S. Hwy. 12, where the local grain elevator dominates the landscape. After the AFA purchased the church earlier this year for $45,000, area residents formed a group called the Murdock Area Alliance Against Hate and turned out in force at a previous council meeting where AFA leaders made a plea for understanding.

About 50 people showed up at that October meeting, nearly all of them expressing opposition to the religious group. Organizers said they plan to protest outside Wednesday's meeting as well, even though it will be held online with no members of the public physically present.
