Oneida Community
Not what you're looking for?
Oneida community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 at Oneida, Newyork. It was significant due to its peculiar religious and social principles. The revival meetings of Charles Finney attracted Noyes, but he developed his own religious doctrines. The whole theology of Noyes was based on the doctrine of perfectionism. Some of the doctrines adopted by the Oneida community were complex marriage, mutual criticism, male continence, ascending fellowship, confession, re-generation, separation, revelation, equality of sexes, and millennial kingdom. The movement had failed as a result of public criticism and the pressure of the people living in surrounding regions. Another reason was that his son had no commitment or leadership qualities to run a peculiar community. When its members began to come out of its teachings and married each other, the community failed to function normally. In January, 1881, Oneida community came to an end and in its place a joint stock company known as Oneida Community Limited was formed
