A Study Of Aging In An Old Order Amish Mennonite Community, Louise Chahbazi

Masters Theses

The Old Order Amish Mennonites, undoubtedly the plainest of the "plain people," have a high regard for the beliefs and customs of their forebears.

Estimates made on the basis of recorded church membership in the Mennonite Yearbook place the Amish population of the United States at approximately 57,000. Their high birth …
