Scott Ludlow Sister Frances is my great aunt on my mother's side and this video made me nostalgic. Spent my summers there growing up as a child and it was so wonderful. Brother Arnold and Brother Wayne tought us what real work ethic means. I remember the big white Newfoundland they had to herd the animals. So proud to be a relative to one of the oldest original Shakers in the world.
If possible, make plans to visit the Shaker Village in New Gloucester, ME. Better still, attend a genuine Shaker meeting there on Sunday at 10 A.M. Meetings are open to all. You will get to see and hear Brother Arnold in person. He is possibly the finest man I have ever met...Stephen Provost...
Please, what is the hymn that is playing at the beginning of the video? The lyrics and tune are beautiful but I can't find the source anywhere on the internet. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I have been doing some research on Shaker life and found this very helpful.

I have a question how do shakers repopulate if they use celebecy does anyone have an answer to this.
The best answer I can give is that they hope an individual will choose to adapt to the Shaker way of life and make a commitment to become a member...
