Show #605: A BOOM IN THE GLOOM
Guests: Elizabethtown College Professor Don Kraybill and carpenter Emmanuel Schwartz
Subject: While we pull our plows with giant diesel-burning tractors, they pull theirs with teams of grass-eating horses. Speeding by, we look out the window and think, ‘How quaint.’ But somewhere down the road we pause to ask…. Why the Amish boom midst all our secular gloom?
Topics include a brief look at the culture of the Amish; why the Amish community has doubled its population in the last 16 years; and what lessons, if any, we city people can learn from the Amish.
