The Believer’s Baptism
To become a member of the Amish church, adults (those in the Amish faith consider anyone 16 and older as adults) between 16 and 23 go through a baptism process. Before getting married, an adult must go through the baptism, and it must be done through the church. Once completed, they are allowed to get married, but of course only to someone within the Amish faith.
Rules Of The Ordnung
The Ordung refers to the set of rules that govern the daily lives of the Amish. These rules are reviewed biannually by every member of the church. It outlines all the practices of each day, as well as the list of limitations members must adhere to. This includes minimal to no use of phones, cars, electricity lines, as well as the rules of their dress code.
