"If we don't want the government to tell us how to conduct our church affairs, we had better not tell them how to run the government.” – 1001 Questions and Answers
I thank the Amish community and Anabaptist groups around the world for standing up to the covid mandates. Many people use to laugh at the Amish for not using advanced technology but now a lot of people are respecting them and wanting to learn from them.
In this blog post and the video below, learn how the Amish community cope with the pandemic by not listening to the government mandates:
How Amish Communities Became The First To Achieve Covid "Herd Immunity" Without Higher Death Rate, Shutdown, Masks, Or Vaccines

"Full Measure" host Sharyl Attkisson traveled to
Lancaster, Pennsylvania to see how Amish communities handled Covid-19 without
electricity or television.
"There's no evidence of any more deaths among the Amish than in places
that shut down tight— some claim there were fewer here. That’s without masking,
staying at home, or" vaccines, Attkisson reported.
"Oh, we're glad all the English people got their Covid vaccines. That's
great," one man said. "Because now we don't have to wear a mask, we
can do what we want. So good for you. Thank you. We appreciate it. Us? No,
we're not getting vaccines. Of course not. We all got the Covid, so why would
you get a vaccine?"
When it comes to actions taken to address the Covid-19 threat, hindsight is still very much underway. For your consideration: a story and outcome you probably aren't hearing much about anywhere else. It takes place in the heart of Amish country.

Our mission is to continue to provide an educational format for grass-based agriculture that supports low energy and a non-industrial way of farming, encourages family lifestyles that promote economical and healthy rural living skills, and seeks to build morale and enthusiasm in the farming community. There is no reservation or entrance fee required for the day’s activities. Food stands will be provided by the parochial school’s special education parents. There will be containers for a freewill offering if you would like to contribute toward the furtherance of the Family Farm Field Days. Sessions will be running simultaneously. Planned children’s activities will be offered throughout the day. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://amishgateway.com/event/family-farm-field-days/] |
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: thousands of families lead lives largely separate from modern America.
The Amish are a Christian group that emphasizes the virtuous over the superficial. They don’t usually drive, use electricity, or have TVs. And during the Covid-19 outbreak, they became subjects in a massive social and medical experiment.
Sharyl: So, it's safe to say there was a whole different approach here in this community when coronavirus broke out than many other places?
Calvin Lapp: Absolutely.
Calvin Lapp is Amish Mennonite.

"If we don't want the government to tell us how to conduct our church affairs, we had better not tell them how to run the government.” – 1001 Questions and Answers Plain Living: Politics and Lancaster’s Amish May 9, 2022 Dr. Steven M. Nolt, director of Elizabethtown College’s Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies, describes and interprets data gathered about the Amish vote during the 2016 election cycle. Filmed at Garden Spot Village on April 27, 2022. VIDEO SOURCE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGLsRqcpMcY&t=1253s |
Lapp: There’s three things the Amish don't like. And that's government— they won't get involved in the government, they don't like the public education system— they won't send their children to education, and they also don't like the health system. They rip us off. Those are three things that we feel like we're fighting against all the time. Well, those three things are all part of what Covid is.
After a short shutdown last year, the Amish chose a unique path that led to Covid-19 tearing through at warp speed. It began with an important religious holiday in May.
Lapp: When they take communion, they dump their wine into a cup and they take turns to drink out of that cup. So, you go the whole way down the line, and everybody drinks out of that cup, if one person has coronavirus, the rest of church is going to get coronavirus. The first time they went back to church, everybody got coronavirus.

The family that works together, eats together, and prays together, stays together. – Amish Proverb [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=528103359444064&set=a.367415542179514] https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2023/05/family-value-quotes.html |
Lapp says they weren’t denying coronavirus, they were facing it head on.
Lapp: It’s a worse thing to quit working than dying. Working is more important than dying. But to shut down and say that we can't go to church, we can't get together with family, we can't see our old people in the hospital, we got to quit working? It's going completely against everything that we believe. You're changing our culture completely to try to act like they wanted us to act the last year, and we're not going to do it.

“Hence, when a government ceases to protect the citizenry of their God-given rights, but instead constructs laws attacking and depriving men of those rights, that government has perverted its power and has decided to play the tyrant. Such a government is to be resisted and not obeyed, regarding those areas of unjust laws.” - — Matthew J.

Steve Nolt is a scholar on Amish and Mennonite culture, and Mennonite himself. He’s studying Amish news publications to analyze community-wide trends.
Sharyl: So, are you saying, as of about May of 2020, things kind of went back to normal in the Amish community?
Steve Nolt: For the most part, yeah, by the middle of May, it's sort of like back to a typical behavior again.
That also meant avoiding hospitals.
Nolt: I know of some cases in which Amish people refused to go to the hospital, even when they were very sick because if they went there, they wouldn't be able to have visitors. And it was more important to be sick, even very sick at home and have the ability to have some people around you than to go to the hospital and be isolated.
Then, last March, remarkable news. The Lancaster County Amish were reported to be the first community to achieve “herd immunity,” meaning a large part of a population had been infected with Covid-19 and became immune.
Some outsiders are skeptical, and solid proof is hard to come by.
Nolt: Even those who believed that they had Covid tended not to get tested. Their approach tended to be, “I'm sick. I know I'm sick. I don't have to have someone else telling me I'm sick.” Or a concern that if they got a positive test, they would then be asked to really dramatically limit what they were doing in a way that might be uncomfortable for them. So, we don't have that testing number.
Lapp: We didn't want the numbers to go up, because then they would shut things more. What's the advantage of getting a test?
One thing’s clear: there's no evidence of any more deaths among the Amish than in places that shut down tight— some claim there were fewer here. That’s without masking, staying at home, or another important measure.
Sharyl: Did most of the community, at least the adults, get the Covid-19 vaccine?
Nolt: Again, we don't have data on that, but I think it's pretty clear that in percentage terms, relatively few did.
Lapp: Oh, we're glad all the English people got their Covid vaccines. That's great. Because now we don't have to wear a mask, we can do what we want. So good for you. Thank you. We appreciate it. Us? No, we're not getting vaccines. Of course not. We all got the Covid, so why would you get a vaccine?
By staying open, the Amish here have one tangible 2020 accomplishment few others can claim.

"When everybody else started walking, we started running." - An Amish Joke [PHOTO SOURCE: https://quozio.com/quote/5t9ttvhp96bv/1413/when-everybody-else-started-walking-we-started-running] |
Lapp: We have this joke: when everybody else started walking, we started running. We made more money in the last year than we ever did. It was our best year ever.
Did the Amish really find a magic formula? They say yes. And they don’t care who doubts it.
Lapp: Yeah, all the Amish know we got herd immunity. Of course we got herd immunity! The whole church gets coronavirus. We know we got coronavirus. We think we’re smarter than everybody. We shouldn’t be bragging, but we think we did the right thing.
Sharyl (on-camera): Nolt, the scholar, is publishing a paper on the Amish social response to government mandates and Covid-19.

With every citizen watching for an opportunity to strike a blow for freedom, the force of Communism can be halted, smothered, and then eliminated. This is our task. Without our tolerance and help the Communist empire would never have become the second strongest power in the earth. Now we have the job of dismantling it. - W. Cleon Skousen

UHD Amish Sunday School Springfield
On a magnificent day in late Summer, the re location of the old Springfield Sunday School by the McCallum Amish family and friends was particularly moving. The old building was in danger of oblivion but now this enterprising family are going to restore it its former glory and use it as a place of peace, harmony and enjoyment.The interior still has the original blackwood timbers that were used in its construction in 1894.The music I selected for this video clip comes from the movie "Witness" which featured an Amish family in the USA in the 1980's. The most moving part of the music is the track "Building the Barn" which was the background to scenes of Amish families coming together to erect a barn for one of the group

UHD Amish Sunday School Springfield Part 2
Part 2 of the evolution of the old Springfield Sunday School. This building has had an interesting history having been moved three times. Built in 1894 on land near the present Springfield store it was moved in 1923 to land owned by George Gofton. Then in 2020 it was moved by the McCallum family to its present location near the Springfield Hall.
Part 1 of the moving can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/460251911060177/videos/799099047265399
Its great to see the building being restored to its former glory by the Amish McCallum family and friends. The working bee was interrupted by a cold southerly squall just after a practice musical presentation by the family.
In the future, Part 3 will see the building completely restored and a musical presentation, keep watching this space.

Day 1 Moving Sunday School
Mar 1, 2023
This the detailed video of day 1 of moving the St Marks Sunday School from Bridport to Springfield. This building was used for a multitude of purposes, line and tap dancing, girl guides, cubs, brownies and a school library as well as a Sunday School. It was impressive to watch a team of professionals navigate the tight spaces to set up their gear and move the building without doing any damage. Part 2 will show how it travelled by road through Scottsdale, up Saliers Hill to its new home on the Amish family farm at Springfield.

Schwarzwaldhaus Kathi, Todtmoos, Baden-Württemberg, Germany [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.booking.com/hotel/de/schwarzwaldhaus-marion.de.html]
The Black Forest house (German: Schwarzwaldhaus) is a byre-dwelling that is found mainly in the central and southern parts of the Black Forest in southwestern Germany. It is characterised externally by a long hipped or half-hipped roof that descends to the height of the ground floor. This type of dwelling is suited to the conditions of the Black Forest: hillside locations, broad tracks, high levels of snowfall and heavy wind loading. Individual farms, such as the Hierahof near Kappel, which are still worked today, are over 400 years old. The Black Forest house is described by Dickinson as very characteristic of the Swabian farmstead type. |
