The Amish are interesting to me because of the abundance of self-created stricture based on nothing more than their tradition. To my thinking, the Protestant and Catholic churches are different only in the particulars of that self-created stricture. "...excommunication and shunning is the fabric which holds the Amish culture together" "tradition is a very strong horse. It will carry you a long way.." "...when he preached, he preached fear." "...we went to a lot of trouble to live simple" "...the beachy amish were allowed to have cars, but the cars had to be painted black" Part 1 Part 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
