They are different from other people because they like to be their own person, not like someone else. They shun the advances of the modern world like, televisions, radios, VCRs, and cars. Their agriculture was very important to them because it kept the family together. It kept the family together because they all worked together.

A strong faith in God and church traditions determine their ways. Ohio has the largest settlement of Amish in the United States; Pennsylvania ranks second and Indiana ranks third. The largest communities in Ohio are in Holmes, Wayne, Ashland and Geauga counties.

The way of life led by the Old Order House Amish presents us with a striking beauty and simplicity that may make our more modern societies seem harsh at best. The Amish Farm and House provides a wonderful representation of Amish life. The tour begins in the front room of the stone house, where Sunday worship services are sometimes held. This lovely house is furnished in the traditional Amish way -- simple, clean, and very homey. Outside the tour continues past some two dozen attractions, some of them quite marvelous. For instance a water wheel a good distance away operates a well pump via a unique system of wires strung along poles.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, often called "Dutch Amish Country" has one of the highest populations of these devoted people. We learned that not all Amish live without electricity or automobiles (only the Old Order Amish do), and that Amish are a sect of Dutch Mennonites. Also known as Anabaptists (rebaptizers), Mennonites don't believe in infant baptism, and try to live strictly by the Bible. Because of their very different lifestyle, outsiders often view Old Order Amish as odd and treat their visits to their homelands as trips to the zoo or circus. We were fascinated by their dedication and old-fashioned ways, and learned respect for their beliefs.

I then hope, secondly, to trace, withinthe tides of history, the sources of the Amish faith and life. And thirdly,I would like to hint at some of the developments, from the 1690s or so,up to around 1720, where I attempt to weigh the significance of some ofthe major leaders who helped determine the outcomes of the great Swiss BrethrenDivision of the 1690s.

Explain sociologically what you feel will happen. ? The first ? scenario was that in 25 years, the Amish will be no more and that the few remaining descendants of the Amish will dress up as Amish to put on a show for the tourists. ? The sociological causes are: ? 1) suburban sprawl that drives up farm land prices that make it impossible for Amish to buy land for farming vs. urban development. ? 2) Tourism destroys Amish privacy and bring in outside influences that destroy Amish beliefs. 3) Money from tourism lures away the young people. 4) Outside business people exploit the Amish image and are the ones that are making Read More Go to Site Religious Movements Homepage: Amish Votes:0 The Amish | Profile | History | Beliefs | Current Controversies | Commercialization | Links | Bibliography | I.

That is a misconception that we unitedly ought to challenge and correct. * * * Another reason for teaching repeatedly on this subject lies in the circumstances alluded to at the beginning.
