NECHE, N.D. — In 1979, Rob McLean’s life felt full of promise. He was 22 years old, engaged, and eager to start a business. Before he began the rest of his life, however, he had to make a pilgrimage from his New Zealand home to tiny Neche, North Dakota.

McLean was born into the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, a little-known religious sect — one he calls a cult. He was making the 8,000-mile trip to Neche (rhymes with itchy) because it was a holy site for the Brethren, headquarters and home to its “universal leader” at the time, James H. Symington. The trip was “just one of the things we had to do. And I didn’t want to,” McLean said.
