I really did not post this thread to defend the Amish Christian religion, but rather question whether we are missing a key element in church growth.

Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Also I would question that 85% retention rate is an 85% retention of believers rate.
They are retaining people to a lifestyle.
I wasn't asking you to defend them, but if evangelism were left only to the Amish the whole world would go to hell and they would keep expanding their little subculture.
That is hardly a revival.
