Explore Colony Life – A Christian Communal Society
Nearly 600 people, almost all German and Swiss emigrants, established and lived in the Aurora Colony, a Christian communal society, from 1856 to 1883. Christian communal living in the Aurora Colony was carried out by individuals who were members of specific family groups, and this was notably unlike other Christian colonies that practiced celibacy.

Are they anything like the Shakers? The Shakers or Shaking Quakers were also a Christian community that eventually died out because they practiced celibacy.

I really can’t say, but my guess would be yes.

Practicing celibacy pretty much means your culture won’t be around for a long time unless you can keep getting people from outside to come in!
