Got some interesting Amish in the News today. Â So let's get right to it!
THE NEW YORK TIMES VISITS THE AMISH - THE FUTURE IS CALLING: Â This is an interesting story. Â The New York Times covers the Amish more often than you'd think. Â Today they ran a fascinating, well-written piece about how the Amish grappling with adapting to the rising tide of technology. Â Great job by "The Gray Lady!" Â Click here to read the article.
AMISH BISHOP PLEADS GUILTY: Â This is a sad case. Â I'm NOT defending the bishop. Â He allowed himself to look the other way, minimize the abuse....but he probably had the insular attitude that a lot of older Amish have which is just that "everything will work out" and "why get authorities involved."

KATIE PERRY IN AMISH COUNTRY:Â I liked this story, sounds very down-to-earth of the pop star to take in some of Lancaster's sights. I probably would not have done it on a Sunday because so much is closed, but it's probably the only time she had. I liked it that she ate at the Olive Garden. Click here.
MENNONITE MEETINGHOUSES: I had posted about this book a couple of weeks ago, but here is another article with even more photos. Â Man, this looks like a gorgeous book offering amazing insights. I may have to put this on my Christmas list!
