21. Amish Churches are Virtually Nonexistent

Instead of “going to church,” Amish people set aside Sundays for worshiping and fellowshipping with each other, usually at one of the community members’ homes. Their practice of faith is much more organic and community-centric than that of other religious groups that rely on a central building. This harkens back to the Anabaptist Radical Reformation, which saw the rejection of the idea that the church visible and church invisible were separate, meaning that any gathering of the faithful was a church indeed.
