High Rate of Inbreeding
The marriage is not being intentionally done with the cousins but it is quite common to see in the Amish community. The risk is quite high because of the lesser population and there are not many people outside the family in the community. The communities are quite small and when it comes to marriage, it becomes harder for these people to find a match that’s not genetically related to them. This is the only and primary reason why there is such a high risk of inbreeding.
A Strict No-No To Evangelism
While we are learning some fascinating facts about the Amish community, how can we forget that they are entirely opposed to practicing evangelism? The people from the Amish community tend to keep themselves away from all the modern aspects of the world and keep themselves abstained from the people of other communities. Witnessing all this, it is of no shock that people from the Amish community don’t support any sort of recruits. No matter how big of a supporter you are, it’s impossible to join the church in the Amish community.
