| | In 2008, there were 4 left adherents of the Shaker faith. At one point, thousands of people labeled themselves Shakers and lived in isolated Shaker communities, where they danced, sang, spoke in tongues, worked up strong economics, and lived celibate, relying on the fruit of self-control. These 4 women keep alive the last active Shaker community and continue in faith in Mother Ann Lee and the Divine Truths they hold.
Their theology may be seen as progressive, especially to a Unificationist. Shakers believe the fall was sexual, and see God as one of dual characteristics, and they believe Mother Ann Lee, the Messiah and Second Coming, was the manifestation of the feminine Holy Spirit.
Well, I want to visit them. ASAP. In New Gloucester, Maine. These women are old... I have to meet them before their faith goes instinct. I wish, oh I really do wish, that people would join the Shaker faith. They need to improve their evangelizing... like, they need to do it.
