16. Conversions Are Very Rare

For many faith communities, the only thing that a person has to do to convert is to agree to the religious creed. For a person to turn to the Amish faith, he or she must live with an Amish family to show the community that he or she has left behind modern technologies and luxuries to embrace a simpler life. Unlike the evangelism of many Christian faiths, the Amish prefer to let their light shine without blinding others, and do not seek out converts.
