September 5 — What's the smallest Christian denomination? There are exactly two Shakers left at Sabbathday Lake in Maine, U.S.A. The denomination — known for its utopian egalitarianism; asceticism (including strict celibacy); and especially its unique, high-quality woodworking — began in 1774 and once counted tens of thousands in their numbers. Today Brother Arnold and Sister June run a small farm and museum. (The New York Times, paywalled) |
