Amish
The
Amish
(;
Pennsylvania Dutch
:
Amisch
, ) are a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships, closely related to but distinct from
Mennonite
churches, with whom they share Swiss
Anabaptist
origins. The Amish are known for
simple living
,
plain dress
, and reluctance to adopt many
conveniences of modern technology
. The history of the Amish church began with a
schism
in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and
Alsatian
Anabaptists
in 1693 led by
Jakob Ammann
. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish.
