The Plain People… trace their origin back to the Protestant Reformation in Europe, where there was an emphasis on returning to the purity of the New Testament church. Anabaptist groups like the Mennonites and the Amish—who split from the Mennonites—were severely persecuted throughout Europe. Many fled to Switzerland and southern Germany where they began the tradition of farming and holding worship services in homes rather than churches. The Amish value simplicity and self-denial over comfort, convenience and leisure. Today, the Amish can be found in 23 U.S. states and in one Canadian province.
