Hi Karen...

We are Brethren In Christ. Our pastor comes from an Amish background.
Maggy just discovered the Amish "rumschpringe" for the teens. Boy if you want to know about the Amish teens crazy days that is the thing to investigate. Just Kidding.
Seriously it is a time before they join the Amish church in baptism to date in secret.. and decide if they would prefer to accept Amish life or live as Englishers.

I believe ( I could be wrong) that the Brethren that the article Tami posted could be the River Brethren. They are a sect of plain folks. It gets really technical because there are old order and new order Mennonite and Amish.

Just my 2 cents for my sisters!
