1. How did the Amish religion begin?
ReplyDeleteThe Amish people are direct descendants of the Anabaptists of sixteenth century Europe. Anabaptism is a religion that came about during the reformation era. The term Anabaptist first started out as a nickname that meant re-baptizer, because this group rejected the idea of infant baptism, since an infant doesn’t yet have the knowledge of good and evil. The Anabaptists were seen as a threat to Europe’s religious and social institutions and were therefore persecuted. The Amish religion is actually a branch of the Swiss Mennonites. The group received its name from its founder, Jacob Amman. In the Netherlands an influential leader of the Anabaptists was Menno Simons. He became such an advocate for Anabaptism that many Anabaptists came to be known as Mennonites. The Amish division came about as a result of particular reforms Amman wanted to make that turned into disagreements with other Mennonite leaders. As a result, a new religious division known as the “Amish” was formed under the leadership of Jacob Amman.
2.Can anyone join the Amish faith?
Anyone can join the Amish faith if they’re willing to give up their modern way of life and adhere to the rules of the Amish Church. However, it’s a difficult transition, with many changes to be made, including learning the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch language of the Amish, changing to the simple way of dressing and living, and giving up most of the modern conveniences we Englishers are used to having.
3. What draws you to the Amish way of life?
Their simple lifestyle, and the fact that they put God first, and then family, is what makes the Amish people so special to me. I also appreciate their example of putting their emphasis on people and not things. When I’m with our Amish friends I see their family closeness, and my desire to be closer to my own family grows stronger. When I’m visiting our Amish friends I feel calm, relaxed, and closer to God.

5. Why do the Amish reject so many things in
the modern world?
Following principles found in Romans 12:2 and II Corinthians 6:14, the Amish are taught that they are to be separated from the desires and goals of the modern world. They believe that to be separate from the world is to be different from the world. They also believe that the use of many modern things in our world would tear their family unit apart, and take their focus away from God.
