Amish beliefs and way of life
Humility, family, community, and separation from the world are the
mainstays of the Amish. Everyday life and custom are governed by an unwritten
code of behavior called the Ordnung, and shunning (Meidung) remains an integral
way in which the community deals with disobedient members. In formal religious
doctrine, the Amish differ little from the Mennonites. Holy Communion is
celebrated twice each year, and foot washing is practiced by both groups.
Persons are baptized when they are admitted to formal membership in the church,
about the age of 17 to 20 years.
