章節(jié)摘錄

　　Live of the shakers　　The Shakers are a religious sect that flourished in the United States between the time of the American Revolution and the ftrst half of the nineteenth century. They were most commonly found in New York， New England， and the frontier areas of Kentucky and Ohio.　　The Shakers have been described as millenarian because of their belief that Christs Second Coming would usher in 1，000 years of peace. They were first known as the Shaking Quak- ers. The name came about as a result of the extreme trembling that they exhibited during their ecstatic dancing and singing in their worship services.　　Shakers followed an extremely simple communal lifestyle. They held all property in common. Men and women shared equally in the work and governance of the community. The spare design of their buildings and furniture， their old-fashioned clothing， and their un- fashionable hairstyles reflected their emphasis on the spiritual rather than the material.　　The community was organized into families. A Shaker family was larger than a typical nuclear family. Elders， deacons， and trustees， both male and female， were the heads of each family. Each family had its own dormitory， cooking and eating areas， barns， and work are- as. Younger members might be engaged in outdoor or indoor tasks， depending on their abili- ties as farmers or artisans. Older members and those who had previously been married were most likely to be engaged in the business aspects of the community.　　The main belief that distinguished Shakers from mainstream Protestants was their prac- tice of celbacy （獨(dú)身）. Men and women lived in separate dormitories. The Shaker sect grew by converting adults and rearing orphans. As adults the orphans could choose whether to stay with the community.　　Hard work was as important in the Shakers relationship to God as were formal worship services. The Shakers engaged in farming and related activities such as sheep herding and rai- sing bees. They also made simple furniture and craft items for sale. They used the proceeds to buy land.
