Shakerism is a system which has a distinct genius, a strong organization, a perfect life of its own, through which it would appear to be helping to shape and guide, in no small measure, the spiritual career of the United States.
-- Hepworth Dixon, 1867

Suggested Art By Our Society





THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE” By Robert Peters

We suggest this read to those of you fellow Shakers, or future Shakers out there. It is a beautiful little novel on the start, and ideals of The Society of Believers in Christ's Second Coming. It really emphasizes our need, and wish to remain simple, and love all that is simple, and adhering in life. 














“Let Zion Move” is one of the many songs that our Shaker society truly appreciates. A simplistic collection of harmonious notes, it truly is the most worthy of all religious hymns in our collection.











"The Tree of Love" is the most appreciated pieces of art in The Shaker Society, for it depicts in the most simplistic of manners how straightforward and beautiful life is. Much like the trees in the Garden Of Eden, this is untainted by sin, and preserved by the very good nature of us Shakers. It also depicts how love can be sustained and everlasting, without  sin, as committed by Adam and Eve.
