XXIII A MESSAGE TO SHAKERS FOR many years progressive leaders and thinkers in all societies and families have felt that spiritual and temporal advance, true Gospel Union, demand a deeper Communism, a wider cooperation in family and society relations. The total absence of creed and formal constitution, the deeply grounded principle of spiritual influx and advancing revelation make possible, in the Shaker Order, a continuous progress which shall wisely conserve all essential elements, and progress without revolution marks the evolving history of the Order. It has long been felt that the future success, if not the continued life of the organization lies in a firmer grasp and more radical application of that primal order of a United Interest--a .true Communism based on Gospel Love and Harmony; and that, while the Covenant provides the most perfect system of government known to man, in details of application, it should broaden with the broadening spirit of the age, the growing intellectuality and self-governing power of the individual. As March buds in their swelling push off the dry leaves left by December winds, thus in Shakerism, the pulse of the Spirit is ever replacing old forms by new growth and beauty. Let the new life pulse and the old excrescence drop to earth where it belongs! Never in the history of Shakerism has there been such opportunity for increase and power as now. The world is astir with the impulse and quickening of this Gos pel of purity, equality and brotherhood. Never have people turned as now they are turning, with eager, inquiring thought, to seek in the principles of Shakerism the key that shall unlock the mystery of life. Let Shakers arise in the joy and strength of their faith and minister its spirit and its power!...

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Shakers written by Stephen J. Paterwic and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Shakerism teaches God’s immanence through the common life shared in Christ’s mystical body.” Like many religious seekers throughout the ages, they honor the revelation of God but cannot be bound up in an unchanging set of dogmas or creeds. Freeing themselves from domination by the state religion, Mother Ann Lee and her first followers in mid-18th-century England labored to encounter the godhead directly. They were blessed by spiritual gifts that showed them a way to live the heavenly life on Earth. The result of their efforts was the fashioning of a celibate communal life called the Christlife, wherein a person, after confessing all sin, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, can travel the path of regeneration into ever- increasing holiness. Pacifism, equality of the sexes, and withdrawal from the world are some of the ways the faith was put into practice. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Shakers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on Shaker communities, industries, individual families, and important people. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Shakers.

Download or read book The A to Z of the Shakers written by Stephen J. Paterwic and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, commonly known as the Shakers, followed Mother Ann Lee to the United States in 1774 when life in England became difficult. In the United States, they established several colonies whose governing principals included celibacy and agrarian communal living. Even at its peak, however, Shakerism claimed only about 4,500 members. Today, except for one active community in Sabbathday, Maine, the great Shaker villages are diminished, but the Shakers left an enduring impact on the religion and culture of the United States. The A to Z of the Shakers relates the history of this fascinating group through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on Shaker communities, industries, individual families, and important people. Every definition, biography, and point of history was submitted to the Shakers at Sabbathday Lake for their review before it was included for publication. As such, the voice of the contemporary Shakers is found in the dictionary, and they have given it their unequivocal endorsement.
