Prophets could come from various ______ of society. Some were shepherds, while others were priests. Some worked within the royal circle, while others were on the fringes of society and denounced the leaders.

I can't think of the word that I need there!

Thanks.

"sectors" is the first word that come to mind.Unfortunately, after I posted my reply, some people already mentioned it. How about divisions, gradients, caste, groups, nationalities, races, echelons, subdivisions, peoples, the various masses of society, ethnicities, types, classifications, denominations, classes, radicals, religious followers , religious believers, converts, the various enlightened; educators, teachers, professions, religious faiths, religions; religious denominations?

Jesus is the last prophet, so prophets can only come from Christian forms of society.
