Shunning
We mentioned banishment above and it typically starts with shunning. Shunning is when villagers will limit how much they interact with the ‘shunned’ individual. Sometimes this takes the shape of complete feigned ignorance – leaving rooms when the shunned individual walks in. The goal of shunning is to convince the individual of the error of their ways.

No Church
While the Amish are deeply devout individuals, they don’t practice their faith in a specific building. Every single Sunday the Church attendants will change their place of worship – picking a different house from the congregation.
