Severe Consequences
When most people hear Amish, they immediately think about how the Amish banish members. This is called ‘Meidung.’ As we emphasized, the Amish people take everything the Ordnung says very, very seriously! Thus, when a member of the community breaks a rule written in the Ordnung, there are repercussions the person must face. So, yes one of these consequences happens to be Meidung, which means that person will be shunned from the Amish community. They really mean business!
