It's been fairly uneventful in Amish news over the past week or so. And that is the way they like it. Still, there are a few items of note.
BARN TRAGEDY: I think this story resonates with me because the Amish man who died was 46, my age. H was reaching for a board in this barn and somehow fell 18 feet and probably the way he fell, perhaps onto his back, was just too much of a hit to survive. Very sad, read more about it here.
BLUFFTON UNIVERSITY LECTURE: Bluffton University is a college near Lima, Ohio and there will be a program there this Sunday from a college professor and a Hutterite schoolteacher. The program will explore Hutterite and Anabaptist pacifism. If I were able to get a babysitter, I’d go to this presentation, I think it’d be fascinating to hear from a Hutterite in her own words.
