An Article Of Faith: Mormonism, Fascism, and the Third Reich
Chapter 8: No Escape from Sacred Ground
20 Apr 2025
A sign on the chapel door reads "NO JEWS ALLOWED". Inside, a sacrament meeting becomes a state-sanctioned spectacle, and the gospel is drowned out by the voice of Hitler. In this chapter, Friedrich, David, and Greta confront the full collapse of their spiritual home as sacred space is transformed into an arm of fascist control. Locked inside the church while Hitler’s speech plays from the pulpit, they face not just silence from their leaders—but celebration. What happens when the institution you trusted not only fails you, but becomes the very thing you hoped it would protect you from? No Escape from Sacred Ground is a devastating reckoning with faith, complicity, and the aching question: who will be left to stand when the last sanctuary falls?
