January - April 2012 Classes
The Amish
Location: Patton Building, Room 150, BRCC Fee: $20
|
The beliefs, traditions, and lifestyle of the Amish people both fascinate and baffle those who live outside their communities. We rarely get the opportunity to look inside the complex traditions and lifestyle of this unique culture. In a modern society of fast-paced technology and travel, the Amish lifestyle is characterized by strict adherence to tradition and resistance to change. |

They function without the modern “necessities” such as computers, televisions, cell phones, and automobiles. They are determined to live simply, with old-fashioned work ethics and traditional family values.
Presenters Matt Troyer and Gary Mullet were both raised in Amish homes in Holmes County, Ohio. They will lead a discussion that will include Amish history, culture, and faith. They will present a video and answer your questions. Both presenters live in Landrum SC.
