Many Reviewers ignorant of Anabaptist and Amish

This Title appears to distort the true history of the Reformation to include the Anabaptist (Mennonite and Amish) when in fact they the Luthern Reformers actually also Martyred them for believe on non-service for war when the protecting kings demanded Reformers defend them from Rome and the Catholic Chirch.Anabaptists (Re-Baptize) are considered to have begun with the Radical Reformation in the 16th century, but historians classify along with most anabaptis people and groups consider these Anabaptist as their forerunners because of a similar approach to the interpretation and application of the Bible. Most start the Anabatist with John Hus a hundred years before the Reformation.In fact, the Martyrs Mirror, probably found in most Amish and conservative Mennonite homes traces the Anabatist Martyrs from Christ through these early Anabatist. Anabaptist were simply those who after reading scripture deducted baptism was an act of rite of admission and adoption which must be selected by the individual. These individuals would then Re-Baptize themselves which was against the rules of the Catholic Church. This act made them hunted by the church and martyred.The fact is the Anabaptist as they are still known, are said to derive from the Anabaptist Movement of the Reformation but close examination illustrates anabaptist were simply a division that existed beside the Reformation as Priest finally had access to the written word. And the Anabaptist that was already established meeting in secret simply t gained strength and openess during the Reformation. But because of beliefs never joined the Lutheran movement itself to fight against the Catholic Church.As for Groups of Anabatist, formed by or After the Reformation, we now identify as three, Mennonite, Hutterites and Amish.These groups all were simply considered Anabaptist. (Re-BaptHutterites are separate in belief from Mennonites (named after Menno Simmons) over Acts 2 and community sharing and living.The Amish, that DID NOT EXIST for almost 150 years After the Reformation actually are a Split Off from the Mennonites over Church Discipline (separation of sinners) and are named after the Bishop leading the separation, Jacob Ammann.The film does have some interesting facts. But how do you give a good rating when facts are presented with revision.As title stated, someone who gave this a 10 saying great history are a case in point if being mislead.

Informative and Well Done

This was an informative and well done documentary on how the Amish was born from the Reformation movement. Joseph Graber's first hand experience in the Amish community gave a personal touch to the film. I appreciated that the documentary stayed respectful to Christianity and it's turbulent past. Well done.
