What: Shaken & Stirred: Religious Ferment and Utopian Living

When: Sunday, January 14, 2018, 1:00 pm.

Where: Oneida Community Mansion House, 170 Kenwood Ave., Oneida NY 13421

Join us Sunday, January 14, 2018, for a discussion with Utopian Community expert Christian Goodwillie about the radical changes in religion that shaped American society. From the eighteenth century to today, members of new religions and communities have faced intense consequences for their beliefs, ranging from threats of arrest to violence. The January 14 discussion will consider the different motivations that inspired new religious movements and the outcomes.

Goodwillie is the Director and Curator of Special Collections at Hamilton College’s Burke Library, which includes a notable collection of intentional community records. He has published extensively about Shaker Communities, and is the past President of the Communal Studies Association.

General admission to the program is $7 for adults and $3 for students with ID. (Members of the Oneida Community Mansion House are admitted for no additional donation.). The discussion is part of the 2018 series, “Beyond Belief: Religion in American Life” held monthly from January-May.

The Oneida Community Mansion House was built in stages between 1861 and 1914 as the residence of the 19th century utopian Oneida Community (1848 - 1880).  Today, the 93,000 square foot brick building houses a museum, residential apartments, overnight lodging, and banquet and meeting space. Two hundred acres of historic trees and landscaped lawns and gardens include Sunset Lake and the country’s first corporate golf course.

The non-profit Oneida Community Mansion House is a National Historic Landmark chartered by the New York State Department of Education. The Mansion House is open for visitors Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, and Sunday from Noon until 5:00 pm. Guided tours are provided by appointment between December-March.
