Amish
Organization
The Amish are a group of traditionalist Anabaptist Christian church fellowships with Swiss and Alsatian origins. They are known for their simple living, plain dress, Christian pacifism, and a slow adoption of modern technology. Operating as an ethnoreligious group, they maintain a high degree of separation from the surrounding modern society.
