Answer 2

The Anabaptist were at on time being put to death for being re baptized.They refused to except their infant baptism.Later a priest by the name Menno Simon who was a priest within the catholic church became born again and left the catholic denomination after reading that it says in the bible to repent and be baptized.Since an infant can't repent it made him aware of the truth, finally realizing all those true believers who had died for the truth at the hands of the catholic church.He joined the Anabaptist at this time and became a leader within a truthful church.Thus the catholic church changed the name Anabaptist to Mennonites.Mennonites are passavist which made them out cast through out Europe.During the time that America gained it's freedom from England farmers and carpenters were needed.A call went out to the Mennonites to come to America and help build it.In return they would receive 100 years of amnesty from the draft.Many came and many died during the trip.After getting here they became scattered and took up with those of other faiths , taking on new doctrines yet keeping many of their own.Thus you have the many different Mennonites of which the Amish are a descendant of.Today the catholic church will tell you that all denominations came from them.This is one branch that never did agree with them and many gave their life's for it.

Answer 3

The Amish have their roots in the Mennonite community. Both were part of the early Anabaptist movement in Europe, which took place at the time of the Reformation. The Anabaptists believed that only adults who had confessed their faith should be baptized, and that they should remain separate from the larger society. Many early Anabaptists were put to death as heretics by both Catholics and Protestants, and many others fled to the mountains of Switzerland and southern Germany. Here began the Amish tradition of farming and holding their worship services in homes rather than churches.

In 1536, a young Catholic priest from Holland named Menno Simons joined the Anabaptist movement. His writings and leadership united many of the Anabaptist groups, who were nicknamed "Mennonites." In 1693, a Swiss bishop named Jacob Amman broke from the Mennonite church. His followers were called the "Amish." Although the two groups have split several times, the Amish and Mennonite churches still share the same beliefs concerning baptism, non-resistance, and basic Bible doctrines. They differ in matters of dress, technology, language, form of worship, and interpretation of the Bible.

The Amish and Mennonites both settled in Pennsylvania as part of William Penn's "holy experiment" of religious tolerance. The first sizable group of Amish arrived in Lancaster County in the 1720's or 1730's.

Answer 4

actually they have a way of life that is simple and one that we all should desire -if we did then we would all be much happier! Life would not be so complicated. They spend time working together. All the frills that get in the way of our being happy is kept out of their life. When the price of gas goes up they don't have to worry. There is no worries of a broken down vehicle. They take pride in the work that they do with their hands. Others are called The English and I do believe mostly are avoided. I remember my grandmothers spring house, my grandfathers orchard-lots of apples cherries all kinds of fruit grapes black walnuts that he kept on the porch and I am sad at times for all that we have lost and how again one day people will have to re-adjust with a new and different life style. Their belief in God is strong-not just a visit to a church to see what everyone else is wearing. also I don't know much but I don't think they believe in war or fighting.
