AMISH Man Excommunicated for healing ministry!
 
Lapp received prayer and experienced an immediate healing. He went from a wheelchair to crutches to being completely restored physically. Word spread quickly throughout the Amish community, and people began coming to Lapp’s home day and night asking for prayer.

With his talk of supernatural healings and events, Lapp seems more at home — at least theologically — in Pentecostal churches than among the Amish. But he is just the most extreme example of an evangelical influence creeping into the Old Order Amish community, according to a number of observers. The trend may be most evident here in Lancaster County, which, with 25,000 members, is one of the world’s largest Amish settlements.

Thanks Mark!

Churches have a way of squelching anything they view as outside their comfort zone don't they.

It would be interesting to see what the actual charges of dismissal were.
