[Faith-talk] mennonites was Church of Christ singing

[Paul]

>From what I know, Amish people still worship in each other's homes, at least 
in Lancaster County, PA.  How they do it in other areas of the country such 
as Ohio and Iowa I have no idea.  Also, another trait that sets Amish 
worship apart from Mennonites is that sermons are delivered in what might be 
loosely termed 17th century high German.  In a book entitled "Amish 
Society," available from your NLS regional library but probably not on the 
BARD site, sermons in Amish churches can last for three hours.  Too long for 
me to digest, even if they were in English.  The German used by the Amish is 
popularly known as Pennsylvania Dutch, the last part of which term is a 
corruption of the name Deutsch.  It has nothing to do with Holland, but 
rather from the German region known as Rhineland-Palatinate.  Paul
