Definition
- Shakers are members of a Christian denomination, officially referred to as the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, which had its origins in late-17th-century England. The sect is known for its communitarian lifestyle, teachings on celibacy, and a belief that their 19th-century prophetess, Ann Lee, was the second coming in the flesh—a female equivalent to an earlier masculine manifestation of the divine, Jesus Christ.
