Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar
An examination
of the Shaker group - its origins, founders, where they still are today
(yes, they do exist), their means of making their livelihood, devotion
to their faith, and art techniques. What
started off as a small, originally kinda Quaker organization mushroomed
to thousands of followers generations ago but time and a key devotion to
the faith - chastity - limited the amount of those born and raised into
it, eventually reducing the amount of converts
as time went on. I did like the founders' quote "there is no dirt in
Heaven" not only for itself but as an explanation of what some have
termed an extreme devotion to cleanliness in the society.
