Old Order Amish, as stated, 1900-present
20th Century · stated scope
Old Order Amish is an Anabaptist Christian denomination characterized by plain dress, horse-and-buggy transportation, rejection of most modern technology, and governance through local church districts led by bishops, ministers, and deacons. It traces its origins to the 1693 schism led by Jakob Ammann within Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptist communities, with present-day Old Order communities concentrated primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and surrounding North American states and provinces.
Cluster:Faithful Observance
Sanctity & Transcendence is the strongest elevation, joined by Tradition & Continuity, Assigned Groups, and Non-Maleficence. The pattern is devout and role-ordered, with restraint. Elevated Non-Maleficence is what separates it from Ordered Tradition.
