1. Amish Communities Don’t Try to Convert Others
With half a dozen children in the average family and 90% of children choosing to remain Amish as adults, Amish communities are in no danger of dying out. While many other Christian denominations are shrinking and attempt to grow via conversion and evangelism, the Amish usually tend to their own affairs. While many Anabaptist groups do historically encourage evangelism, the Amish way of life specifically caters to a form of quiet witness of their faith.
