EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1870s, a group of Shakers from their community in Kentucky, USA, are seen engaged in a heated disagreement. The Shakers, known for their peaceable and communal lifestyle, were a Christian sect renowned for their pacifist beliefs and celibacy. The image captures a rare moment of discord among these usually harmonious individuals. Their faces are etched with deep lines of concern and determination, as they passionately voice their opposing views. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the warm glow of a fire casting long shadows on the rough-hewn walls. Despite their commitment to peace, the Shakers were not immune to internal conflicts. Disagreements over the interpretation of their religious beliefs and communal living arrangements occasionally led to disputes, albeit infrequently. This photograph provides a glimpse into the human side of a community that is often romanticized for its tranquility and simplicity. The Shakers, who were at the height of their influence during the 19th century, had established several communities in the United States, including in Kentucky. Their unique lifestyle, which combined elements of Quakerism, Anglicanism, and African influences, attracted many seekers of spiritual renewal. However, the sect's numbers began to dwindle in the late 19th century, and by the mid-20th century, there were only a few hundred Shakers left in the US. This photograph, taken in 1871, offers a poignant reminder of the complexities of even the most seemingly idyllic communities, as well as the enduring human need for connection and the potential for conflict that comes with it.
