Spine badly faded, spine ends worn, covers soiled, front hinge cracked, front cover wobbly, pages toned.The Hopedale Community was founded in Massachusetts in 1842 by Adin Ballou. Ballou believed that he could create a utopian community blending the features of a factory town with those of a religion-based commune. He called this "Practical Christianity," but unlike several similar communities, it was important to Ballou that Hopedale would not be isolated from the rest of society. The community stood for temperance, abolitionism, woman s rights, spiritualism and education. The practical end of the Community came in 1856 when two of Ballou s closest supporters, Ebenezer and George Draper, withdrew their 75% share of the community s stock to form the successful Hopedale Manufacturing Company. The community, however, continued on as a religious group until 1867, when it became the Hopedale Parish and rejoined mainstream Unitarianism. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2 lbs 8 oz.
