Amish History

AMISH HISTORY

Amish belong to a Protestant-based religious group that originated in

Switzerland and Germany in 1500s. Martin Luther broke away from the
Roman Catholic Church. Consequently, the Protestant Reformation, putting
heavy emphasis on personal faith and the authority of the Bible, swept
through northern Germany and Scandinavia.

Not satisfied with conservative reform, many sects developed other forms of
worship. One point of contention for the reform movement was baptism
which, it was believed, should only be performed on adults who consciously
accepted the teachings of Jesus Christ. Adult baptisms became identified
with the so-called Radical Reformation movement. Its reformers were called
Anabaptists, meaning "Rebaptizers" because they had already been
baptized in the Catholic church as infants. They also believed in separation
of church and state.

This Swiss Anabaptists became known as Mennonites, after a Roman

Catholic priest, Monno Simon, who led them in the Netherlands and
Northern Germany in the 1530s. The Mennonites, regarded as heretics,
were persecuted with torture, burning at the stake, jailing, drowning and
general harassment during the 1600s. At the same time, a sect of stricter
Mennonites, who followed Jacob Ammann, broke off from the group and
became known as Amish.
