I suppose I should be voicing this criticizm somewher else...

How do You teach true Holiness to Mennonites? I am not sure what you are asking here... The Mennonite/Amish people are like other denominations in that some have more genuine "holiness" than others.

It is a common misconception that all Mennonites are ultra conservative "plain people". While it is true of most Amish, the Mennonites have many denominations and most do not practice ultraconservative dress.

In my case I was Old Order Mennonite. I know many very fine Christians in the Mennonite Church.

Thanks for the reply as I had wondered about it.

I also wondered what the plain people think about the accepted 21st century UPC "Standards"

Seems there would be cultural shock.

Do they usually retain their caps?
Do they embrace more fashionable apparel?
Are their standards allowed to be kept and are they respected?

Thanks,

Nina
