The Plain People

The Amish and Mennonites. Plain people. Wonderful folk. Wish a simple honest life. They “provide good produce and stand by it”. They forgive, even the worst offences, not because they are forgiving, but because Jesus told them to. 

Look at how they raise a Barn. They’re famous for it. Justly so: in just a week they raise a whole new, huge barn. The power of community. 

I thought to become Amish. Then I realised I’d need an American visa. And I’d be on my own. You need to be part of the family. 

This is a wonderful documentary. (“What’s a documentary?” one of he Amish says to towards the end).
