What is the Amish Ordnung?
All aspects of Amish life are dictated by a list of written or oral rules, known as Ordnung, which outlines the basics of the Amish faith and helps to define what it means to be Amish. For an Amish person, the Ordnung may dictate almost every aspect of one's lifestyle, from dress and hair length to buggy style and farming techniques. The Ordnung varies from community to community and order to order, which explains why you will see some Amish riding in automobiles, while others don't even accept the use of battery-powered lights.

What are three differences between Mennonites and Amish?
There is no difference between the clothing of the Amish and the Mennonite. There are dozens of plain sects that refer to themselves Amish or Mennonite and still others that call themselves Peachy, Beachy, Apostolic, and other labels, but the clothes worn really depend on the particular congregation one is talking about, as it depends on tradition more than the ordnung, and the ordnung is a living set of rules, rather than a static one. The textbook answer is that the difference between the Amish and the Mennonite is that the Amish practice shunning and the Mennonite do not. Shunning is the practice of refusing to recognize a member of the church who has varied from the practices of the church in a significant way, has been assisted in conforming, and has continued to live a nonconforming life. That means that having been shunned, one cannot talk with wife, children, brothers and sisters, patents, or the many church members that provide the specialized goods and services needed in ordinary life - quite a burden. However, the congregations have drifted back and forth, and there are liberal Amish, and conservative Mennonite groups, so there really no useful distinctions between them. I met an Amish woman who came back to Indiana to visit her mother, hospitalized for a heart attack. She was wearing plain white tennis shoes, which were not worn by any of the local Amish congregations, but she had moved to upstate New York, which allowed them.

Can Amish people join the military and still be accepted by their church?
The Amish are not members of the church at birth. They're not permitted to join the church until they're adults. There's a period before this decision in made, known as Rumspringa. During this time, they can work in the secular world, move out, buy and drive cars, etc. Some have joined the military during this time, although it's rather rare to see. If they do four years, get out, then decide to join the church, their past isn't held against them. If they decide not to join the church, they're free to make that choice without shunning. Now if they make the decision to join the church, then have a change of heart and leave, they'll be subject to shunning.
