		An ethnic group is a culture or subculture whose members are readily distinguishable by outsiders based on traits originating from a common racial, national, linguistic, or religious source.
		Group decisions in these meetings should be backed up by the district police and the local "judges." Also important in the local context is the Moravian church which has parishioners in each community and which has a great deal of influence on public opinion.
		Many indigenous organizations with offices outside the location of their ethnic group operate with such limited budgets that the wider process of consulting is almost impossible without specific financial support, usually obtained from outside sources, a practice that carries considerable risk of co-optation and eventual conflicts of interest.

		Moravians distinctively used trombones in their musical bands, then referred to as "choirs" to accompany, their hymns, funerals and other festive occasions.
		Nineteenth-century bands were influenced by ethnicity in two ways: first, ethnic bands performed their own religious and secular hymns, tunes, marches, and dances, thereby maintaining group religious and cultural traditions, and second, foreign bandsmen were members of, and had an influence on, non ethnic local ensembles.
		Many bands were exclusively of one ethnic group, often German or Czech, such as the all-Bohemian bands of Cedar Rapids and Protivin, the statewide touring Kouba Band, and Strasser's German Band of Davenport.'s It seems certain that these bands performed both for Bohemian religious and festive occasions and the usual secular cornmunity affairs.

	Religious Movements in the United States (Miller)
		Classically, a “sect” was a splinter group, one that split off from a well-established parent tradition, often in the name of returning to a pristine purity from which the parent tradition, in its organizational evolution, was held to have departed.
		It came to be generally used to describe a movement that was at least potentially destructive to its members or to society at large, one that in effect abused (or took advantage of) its members and engaged in unethical practices of various sorts.
		But the group in question had about 100 members who lived communally in movement-owned property; the value of their housing, as well as the other facilities the movement used, thus came to approximately $10,000 per member–less, probably, than the typical American family has in assets.
