Description: One of America's earliest
religious communities, founded in 1732, Ephrata
Cloister was best known for its original art and music,
distinctive Germanic
architecture, and significant publishing center. The
community consisted of
three orders: celibate Brothers and Sisters who practiced a
lifestyle
emphasizing spiritual rather than material goals and the
married
householders.
