Encyclopedia: Harmony Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The Harmony Society was a Christian theosophy and alchemist society founded in Iptingen, Germany, in 1785 or 1786. The Harmony Society is best known for its worldly successes, eventually building three successive communities, first at Harmony, then New Harmony, Indiana, finally settling in Economy (now Ambridge, Pennsylvania). Then, in 1825, Frederick Rapp, who was the financier of the Harmony Society, a German religious sect that was headquartered in the area, purchased the land. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Harmony-Society   (517 words)

Harmony Society Papers Members outside of the Harmony Society had to be hired to perform industrial duties in the mills and companies. The Harmony Society was becoming industrially successful under the new leadership even though the religious aspect was declining. It was understood in the beginning of the society's existence that no private property was to be used for personal gain and in the event that two members remained, the remaining money was to be given to the state. www.lrp.usace.army.mil /lmon/harmony.htm   (1357 words)

Harmony Society. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 In 1805 the society founded the village of Harmony, Pa., and developed it into a prosperous agricultural and industrial community.

Barbershop Harmony Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Barbershop Harmony Society, also known as the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA), was the first of several organizations to promote and preserve barbershop music as an art form. A second women's barbershop-harmony organization, Harmony Incorporated, was formed in 1959, as the result of a dispute over SAI's membership policy, which at the time limited membership to whites. In mid-2004, faced with declining membership, the Society adopted a marketing plan that calls for using "Barbershop Harmony Society" consistently and retaining the old name for certain legal purposes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Barbershop_Harmony_Society   (404 words)

Western Esotericism and the Harmony Society In the mid-nineteenth century, the Harmony Society's per capita income was ten times that of the average American, and the Society was well known for its huge agricultural projects, its factories, its ingenious inventions, and its wealth. The history of the Harmony Society is documented extensively in the series of large volumes edited by Karl Arndt, and there we find overwhelming evidence of how important Christian esotericism was for the Rapps. But in fact it is the case that although the inspiration and motivation for the Harmony Society emerged from Western esoteric sources, the sheer material wealth of the society soon completely overpowered and suffocated what had brought the society into being. www.esoteric.msu.edu /Versluis.html   (5752 words)
