This documentary traces the origins of the Old Order Amish of America and gives a uniquely personaI view of Amish beliefs by former members of the group. Beginning with Luther's ninety-five theses, the program describes the advent of the Reformation, the establishment of a reformed state-sponsored church in Switzerland, and the formation of the breakaway Anabaptist Movement. From its Anabaptist origins, the Amish deveIoped as a unique sub-group under the leadership of Jakob Ammann. Host Joseph Graber, a former member of the Amish Church, traces his famiIy origins back to the Reformation era and gives unique insights into how Amish beIiefs have changed over the centuries. |
