The Unexpected Rules and Customs of the Amish Community

Against Evangelism

Although the Amish are recognized as Christians, they do not engage in the same activities that Christians do. They are against the idea of missionary work and evangelism to gain more converts to the faith. The Amish community believes that religion is a choice and not something you're born into. At the same time, they don't believe that trying to convert people is a natural way of bringing them closer to God.
