SHAKERS

I really didn´t know nothing about Shakers. But we read a text.
They are living in America, in The Sabbathda Lake Shaker Village in Maine, just in the north east of United States.
As you can wath in the video they still live like Jesuchrist did. They are like Amish, but this affirmation is not true. They are different. They are a community, a religious community. They live in a particular space, they have a village for themselves.
They live as Christ did, so they have a celibate life, where male and female members have diferent places to live, to work, to pray...
They live confessing their sins and being pacifists.
Shaker community has a communal life, so the most important thing for them is to remember that community steals your independence. There was a clearly example in the text. If you want to do something but the community needs you doing another thing, you have to give up (renunciar) and do community's requirements. Maybe that is the reason why today community has only four members.
