How much are the Amish doing by way of outreach?

I wonder if there's also no need to dress as UPC'ers in order to be modest and if dressing UPC can pose unneccesary stumblingblocks for people on the outside? Well, I take that back, because I know the answer. What do you think?

Also, I wonder how much the UPC does in the way of family life?
