It is very uncommon for people who were not brought up in an Amish community to become Amish. Yet despite popular belief, the Amish do not have any rules or bylaws that prohibit membership by "Englishers", and people have successfully joined before. Be aware that joining the Amish will take perseverance, determination and, above all, a strong desire to live a simple, virtuous life which places God and family values above all else. If you are interested in joining the Amish, this article will outline the practical steps you'll need to take.
