Mehmet Oz’s new hometown is a private, religious community where opinions on him are split

In tiny Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, a handful of the bright green late-summer lawns are dotted with Oz for Senate campaign signs.

This idyllic, church community of fewer than 1,300 people includes families that go back generations to the town’s 1890s founding. Houses are passed down between family members, and many residents are related.
