It is just a few years in the future, but a new religion has emerged. It has rapidly gained many adherents, especially among college-age and other young adults. Many couples have also joined, and even cited how much this religion has helped their relationships or marriages.
The Church of the New Age is led by its "prophet", the Rev. Xavier Vasquez. Vasquez is a defrocked Catholic priest who has built a powerful following from his base in El Paso, Texas. He is the son of a German tourist and a Mexican- American waitress, and was brought by his maternal grandparents in a devoutly Catholic household.
At 38, he has become a power in the community and is now gaining even more disciples nation-wide. Yet little is known of what he actually teaches and practices in his commune just outside the city limits of El Paso. It is his HQ and one of several co-operative farms owned by the church, but there are rumors of all kinds of practices, not all that different from those done in Utah and Arizona by Mormon Fundamentalists....polygamy, for starters.
Is it true, however, and if so, why? Why the communal organization at the co-operatives, too? And why such massive conversion efforts, rather unusual for a New Age group?
A prominent group of journalists has been invited to visit the commune....and meet the controversial Prophet. What they don't know is the hypnotic power possessed by Vasquez. Nor why the bulk of the invited reporters are women. Or that he wants more wives for his sect.
