ABSTRACT

This research studies how Amish people have established a traditional, pure life of faith, and a primeval lifestyle based on that faith. First, Amish people's worship style has a profound meaning as communitarian as they have pursued community-centered worship services. Second, the Amish community's organization shows an excellent role model to Korean church as such that Amish diocese is normally composed of 25~40 families, and there are three types of duties -- composed of Bishop, Deacon, and Minister -- who are supposed to be chosen by drawing lots. The third point of the Amish community's characteristics is that their business system and work ethics are based on the ideas of humility and purity. Lastly, the Amish community has been able to overcome a history of hardship with patience as they have been trying to communicate with their neighboring communities.
