Led a small band of followers from Manchester to America in 1774 and founded the community that grew into the Shakers.

Entity-backed identity for the polity value this entry already carries, resolved to the live entity it names, phase 3 bucket conversion (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, w-bucketconv-divmore-0929). The original fact with its own citation stays on the entry unchanged.

The Shakers held chastity as mandatory celibacy for every member without exception, so the community could grow only by conversion and by the adoption of children.

Dance was worship and not an accompaniment to it, ordered into set figures and marched by the whole society, and it is what gave the Believers the name their neighbours called them by.

Property was held in common, and the produce of Shaker workshops supported the community and was sold to the world outside.

Celibacy was absolute and was the defining discipline of this body: men and women lived in the same community, in separate quarters, and it grew entirely by conversion and by adoption. It is also why almost none of it survives.

Confession of sin to an elder of one's own sex was required before a person could be received into the community.

The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing placed the dance at the centre of worship rather than at the edge of it.

Entity-backed identity for the language enum value this record already carries, resolved to the live divinity language entity that value names, per the phase 3 entity-backed browse bucket conversion (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, owner decisions 2026-09-28, w-bucketconv-divlang2-0929, mapping corrected). The language fact itself, with its own citation, stays on the record unchanged; this relationship only adds the durable entity identity the value already names.
