<li>Amish today live in <strong>549</strong> separate locations (settlements). Ohio has the most settlements, with<strong> 62</strong>.</li>
<li>Pennsylvania and Ohio are as usual the two states with the largest total Amish populations, in the neighborhood of <strong>75,000</strong> each.</li>
<li>The South American communities are in <strong>Bolivia</strong> and <strong>Argentina</strong>. In this unusual example of Amish outside North America, New Order Amish established the two settlements in 2015, with most members of an <a href="http://amishamerica.com/mennonite/#old-colony" style="color: #929292;">Old Colony Mennonite</a> background.</li>
<li>Over the past year, 21 new settlements were formed, two went extinct, and interestingly, two were “reconfigured” into a single settlement. This means a <strong>net gain of 18 settlements</strong> in the past year.</li>
<li>Since the early 1990s, the Amish population has<strong> increased by over 200,000</strong>, reflecting the traditionally rapid growth of this group. You can see a comparison of the numbers in 1992 and 2018 <a href="https://groups.etown.edu/amishstudies/files/2018/08/Population_Change_1992-2018.pdf" style="color: #929292;">here</a>.</li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Les éditions
Olivétan viennent d’ajouter à leur collection <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Figures Protestantes </i>un nouvel ouvrage, consacré aux Amish. C’est
au pasteur Paul-Emmanuel Biron que nous devons ces pages fort complètes mêlant
histoire, mœurs et approches dogmatiques de cette Eglise que nous aimons tant.
Dans son premier chapitre, l’auteur aborde les racines historiques des Amish,
et brosse le portrait de leurs cousins anabaptistes, ou apparentés. C’est là qu’on
découvre la multiplicité des branches de l’anabaptistime et du mennonitisme, et
qu’on se rappelle que les Amish étaient nos lointains cousins alsaciens.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Autour
de chapitres concis, l’auteur aborde ensuite la ‘vie Amish’ sous l’angle du
travail, du sens de la communauté, des règles qui la sous-tendent. En s’aidant
au besoin du Pennsylvanish Deitsch, l’auteur nous montre combien ces communautés
sont pétries par un vivre-ensemble et un croire-ensemble aussi exigeants qu’édifiants.
En abordant le culte, les grandes fêtes et les heures du quotidien, l’auteur
nous donne à voir des familles attachées à une forme de tradition et à des
choix de plus en plus difficilement conciliables avec le monde dit moderne. Ce
faisant, les textes nous apprennent davantage sur les livres utilisés par les
Amish, sur leur refus (ou plutôt leur modération d’usage) des technologies, sur
leurs habits, etc. Une multitude de signes qui renvoient à un Ordnung garant certes
d’un certain ordre, mais aussi condition d’un Royaume à annoncer par tout son
être… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

est intéressant dans cet ouvrage est qu’il brosse un éventail très large de
sujets tout en étant vraiment digeste à lire. J’en retiens la nécessité de bien
comprendre le terreau dont sont issus les Amish, les lignes qui parlent de l’humilité
et le pacifisme que requièrent la radicalité, ainsi que les chapitres liés aux
conditions de l’épanouissement des Amish aux Etats-Unis… et la jurisprudence qu’ils
ont générée.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Un très
bon ouvrage qui représente une introduction fidèle aux Amish, accessible aussi pour
le grand public. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">L'European Mennonite Network propose depuis quelques temps une manière très originale de découvrir l'histoire et l'actualité de la foi mennonite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Au départ d'une carte interactive, les internautes sont amenés à découvrir un lieu, une communauté, un sujet développé par une courte vidéo et des textes de référence. Le site se structure ainsi entre lieux précis, thèmes, carte des migrations, histoires, etc.<br /><br />Un support intelligent dans ses contenus comme dans son site, résolument tourné vers l'avenir. Rare, multilingue, et hautement recommandable.<br /><a href="http://www.eumen.net/" target="_blank"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">www.eumen.net</span></a></span><br />

God gives us more than we expect. In a time of projects and move-aways, He sent

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I read the
Numbers, chapter 11, and the Exodus, chapter 16. People are crossing the desert,
they eventually believe no more. They are hungry, the only want to survive. And
then God gives a nice answer : ‘of course I shall not let my people die in the
desert’. You’ll receive what you’ll need<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1692141380472381851#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a>.
Such a strange thing indeed : like coriander, with some whity jelly (Ex 16,30).
People didn’t even know what it was. They were saying, in Hebrew : What’s that
? Man’ouh ? So it had been called ‘Manna’. <br />
<br />
But the story is not finished. Men and women ate. But it was not enough.
Walking through the desert, eating each day the same thing, they began
complaining about the Lord (Numbers 11,4). And He said to Moses people will
receive meat (Numbers 11,18). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could
this be possible ? asked Moses. And the Lord sent quails (Numbers 11,31). But
the people ate too much, and the Lord killed many of them. <br />
I think the lesson He gave me is the following :</span></span></div>

An Amish lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08588460099357417661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692141380472381851.post-64712500168192273432014-08-05T02:15:00.004-07:002014-08-05T02:15:21.831-07:00A common mistake : Amish and QuakersSome friend (with a little 'f' ) sent us a very nice video made by English Quakers about differences between them and Amish. This little video shows us there's no organic connection between our two ways. But I must say we're sharing some guidelines that are common to both :<br />
- Quakers and Amish are attached to live a plainly life, with sober behaviors, moderated expenses and speeches. Both we are children of the christian plain churches.<br />
- Both we are searching for Truth, on a way made of integrity, fidelity, reliability, modesty.<br />
- Reconciliation and peace are prior matters for us<br />
- We believe both that silence can allow God to speak to us...<br />
<br />
But of course we are not from the same background, and don't share the same theology.<br />
<br />
Here is the video, from <a href="http://quakerspeak.com/" target="_blank">QuakerSpeak</a>.<br />
You will find on their site the total transcript of what Max shares with us.<br />

Un nombre incroyable d’espèces,
parmi lesquelles l’humain, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>puisent dans
la lait maternel de quoi vivre et grandir, et continuent de recourir au lait
pour les nombreux bienfaits de ses produits dérivés : beurre, yaourt,
fromage, etc. L’Ecriture elle-même parle du lait, celui des vaches et des
brebis (Dt 32, 13-14), et même des chamelles (Gn 32, 15-16) ! En Exode
(3,8-17), le lait est constitutif de la félicité que nous serons tous appelés à
connaître lorsque nous aurons rejoint la terre que Dieu promet.</span>

donné aux enfants, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>un élément
élémentaire, primordial, vital.</span></div>

Pour y voir un peu plus clair plus clair, nous nous sommes essayés à un petit exercice : une sorte de tableau des principales dénominations issues de la Réforme. <br /><br />Un 'chart' qui rappelle celui de Cory Anderson, membre des Beachy Amish et webmaster du portail non-officiel <a href="http://www.beachyam.org/">www.beachyam.org</a>, qui en a réalisé un semblable, et fidèle, proposé ci-dessus.<br /><br />Dans la même optique, voici le nôtre, qui comme celui de Cory, n'est ni exhaustif ni parfait, et ne prend pas en compte la représentativité des groupes pour définir la taille des vignettes.</span><br />

So we decided together to cook in the kitchen. We took the last vegetables from the garden, to make some cans for the winter; we also reserved an half pumpink to prepare today's soup.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With the raw milk of the cows, we made some fresh cheese. We will eat it tomorrow as a perfect add to bread, the other part shall be stored in a dry and cold place to become harder cheese.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Separating milk from lactoserum gave us some reason to cook someting different. We can indeed use sour milk (also called buttermilk if it comes from cream turned into butter) to bake biscuits. These contain no sugar, and can be eaten with milk and honey, as well as a salted light meal. It's very easy to prepare them with children.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cooking is always a way to preserve harmony and to keep in touch with relatives. This is true when it's made, but also when it will be shared. In family, everybody can come with his talents, and help as he can, no matter what age he is. During a rainy day, everyone can be warmed with the oven's warm, and hearts company...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Une question revient sans cesse dans les forums consacrés aux Amish et autres anabaptistes : les Amish sont-ils encore présents en Europe ? <br /><br />Après avoir fait ma petite enquête, voici une réponse non-exhaustive à cette question :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- les Amish du Vieil Ordre sont partis d'Alsace, de Suisse, en somme du Palatinat au 18ème siècle. Nous ne rappellerons pas ici combien ils ont souffert des persécutions causées par les protestants et les catholiques. Quelques groupes isolés se sont convertis, d'autres ont résisté, pour rejoindre des églises anabaptistes locales. En <b>Alsace</b>, la dernière congrégation Amish est celle d'Ixheim, qui a rejoint l'Eglise mennonite en 1937. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- A partir de 1950 environ, des missions Amish au départ des Etats-Unis et à destination de l'Europe ont été mises sur pieds. Ce n'est pas le fait des Amish du Vieil Ordre, mais bien des Beachy Amish, la branche néo-conservatrice mais paradoxalement plus libérale du mouvement. Ces missions ont souvent été clôturées après quelques années d'expérience : dans une Europe qui se déchristianisait sensiblement, les chrétiens n'ont pas compris la proposition de ces Amish qui conduisent des voitures et utilisent nombre de nos éléctro-ménagers courants. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>De ces missions, il reste pourtant des traces, voir même des congrégations. </b><br /><br />- En <b>Belgique</b>, une mission de quelques familles a été implantée à Poperinge dans les années 1980. Elle a fermé ses portes en <b>2008</b> (information confirmée), avec le départ de la famille de Paul Yoder.<br />- En <b>Pologne</b>, une famille est restée. Elle a réussi à se faire accepter de la population locale, qui la prenait au départ pour une famille juive orthodoxe. Ils fréquentent une Eglise pentecôtiste, faute de mieux. L'histoire de cette famille se trouve sur<a href="http://amishamerica.com/" target="_blank"> Amish America</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- En <b>Irlande</b>, une mission (toujours Beachy) semble croître. Une famille hollandaise a récemment rejoint le groupe. Il s'agit de la Waterford Amish Mennonite community. Pour en savoir plus : <a href="http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/unique-irish-community-the-amish-of-dunmore-east-26794029.html">www.independent.ie/lifestyle/unique-irish-community-the-amish-of-dunmore-east-26794029.html</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- En <b>Ukraine</b> et en <b>Roumanie</b>, les Beachy Amish sont encore présents, et y ont développé un ministère humanitaire, via le Christian Aid : <a href="http://www.christianaidministries.org/about-cam/locations">www.christianaidministries.org/about-cam/locations</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nombre de croyants sont légitimement attirés par le plain living;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">dans cette optique, soulignons aussi le fait qu'<b>il existe aussi en Europe</b> :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- de nombreuses Eglises mennonites/anabaptises (en France, notamment !)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- des communautés de frères/Brethren </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">- des communautés intentionnelles dénominationnelles ou non. Les Bruderhof (Angleterre, Allemagne) par exemple, qui se rattachent indirectement aux Huttérites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Un trop rapide tour d'horizon, j'en conviens.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I thought a lot about what's the real heart of Amish living. Of course there's the family, and the community : you can't do anything without a good circle of friends and relatives. It enhances your humanity, and it helps you to remain that every man or woman is the other's guardian... Of course we have rules, that maintain order and joyfull austerity among us, to preserve us from wordly or/and unnecessary things.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But I think the most important is that our lives are guided through God, and trough time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />In fact, most people we konw are running eveywhere, are shouting to be listened, and are even sick because they don't take the time to talk, to breathe, to smile, to work, to live. Mesuring time and using time as a gift is also a way to thank God for He gave it to us. Every minute we can thank Him, in every situation we can use our hands or our brain to act in godly way.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We see this way as a complete spirtuality, introducing God not only when we have time, but in every hour, because it's offered to God. God is not an accessory, as well as time is not one at all. We choosed to live considering one is even essential to us than the other.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No matter what life you choosed, but please take time. Take the time to pray, to help, to smile !</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And in every circumpstance, be joyfull, because you are God's vehicule for love. </span></span>An Amish lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08588460099357417661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692141380472381851.post-64337346623436201062013-04-09T03:42:00.000-07:002013-04-09T03:42:03.368-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Avec le printemps est revenu le temps des semences.
Un verset de l’Ecclésiaste s’est rappelé à notre bon souvenir (Eccl 3
dans la traduction du Semeur): </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Il y a un temps pour tout et un moment pour toute chose sous le soleil.<sup>2 </sup>Il y a un temps pour naître et un temps pour mourir, un temps pour planter, et un temps pour arracher le plant,<sup>3 </sup>un temps pour tuer et un temps pour soigner les blessures, un temps pour démolir et un temps pour construire. <sup>4 </sup>Il y a aussi un temps pour pleurer et un temps pour rire, un temps pour se lamenter et un temps pour danser, <sup>5 </sup>un temps pour jeter des pierres et un temps pour en ramasser, un temps pour embrasser et un temps pour s'en abstenir. <sup>6 </sup>Il y a un temps pour chercher et un temps pour perdre, un temps pour conserver et un temps pour jeter, <sup>7 </sup>un temps pour déchirer et un temps pour recoudre, un temps pour garder le silence et un temps pour parler, <sup>8 </sup>un temps pour aimer et un temps pour haïr, un temps pour la guerre et un temps pour la paix.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">C’est
peut-être là un des principes les plus fondamentaux - hormis notre
ancrage en Dieu par Christ - du Plain Living. Faire en sorte de pouvoir
donner aux choses à accomplir le temps qu’elles méritent ; faire en
sorte que nous puissions nous investir dans chaque tâche de manière
entière, honnête, authentique. L’adage populaire veut que celui qui est
partout à la fois n’est finalement nulle part, aussi essayons-nous de
prendre le temps ; les temps et moments nécessaires à la réalisation de
ce qui doit être fait.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />En ce début du printemps, le four à pain a été
nettoyé, les premières semences intérieures commencent à sortir de
terre, les poussins de poule grandissent à vue d’œil. Alors que Marc
nous rappelle que ‘jour et nuit, la semence germe et grandit’ (4,26-29),
nous ne maudissons pas cet hiver utile, mais nous réjouissons du retour
des beaux jours et de tout le surcroît de vie qu’ils procurent.<br />Bientôt d’autres naissances, d’autres enfantements.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">L’Ecclésiaste
nous donne à réfléchir à la manière dont nous travaillons, dont nous
nous affairons, dont nous gesticulons ! Et si chaque tâche mérite son
moment, nous sommes persuadés que chaque activité mérite aussi son
endroit. Pour nous, cela va de soi : dans une cuisine, on mange, dans
une chambre à coucher, on dort. Pourquoi choisir de mettre des
télévisions dans toutes pièces, ou de manger à tous les étages ?
Pourquoi transformer des pièces de vie en bureau improvisé, ou une pièce
à linges en fourre-tout ? Pourquoi téléphoner dans la salle de bains ou
se raser en voiture ? A croire que nous pouvons tout faire partout,
nous nous emmêlons les pinceaux, et ne sommes plus enclins à faire
correctement les choses. ‘On ne peut être au four et au moulin’,
disaient nos grand-mères. Marthe et Marie (Luc 10,38) en sont un autre
exemple.<br /><br />Croire que tout espace peut servir toute activité
n’apporte ni la paix du geste ni la concentration nécessaire à celui-ci.
Croire que tout moment est propice à l’étude comme à la cuisine ou aux
champs est un leurre… Choisir de prendre le temps, et l’endroit, c’est
transposer dans les plus petites choses de notre vie la logique de la
vie elle-même, qui respecte cycles et saisons, latences et
explosions. </span></span>An Amish lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08588460099357417661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692141380472381851.post-16985704606244360252013-04-02T03:50:00.000-07:002013-04-09T03:50:58.573-07:00Bref aperçu du terreau religieux Amish<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="fr-FR">Les Amish souhaitent
en effet se retirer du monde, tout étant conscients, quoiqu’on
en dise, d’en faire partie intégrante. Un peu comme ces
familles mennonites québecquoises actuelles balançant
progrès ‘pour être du monde’ et tradition ‘pour
s’en retirer’. D’où leur souhait de se conforter dans
une vie exemplaire qui, si elle ne sert jamais à des desseins
prosélytes, leur offre au quotidien une clôture qui est
garante de leur force : une clôture faite de libertés
et d’interdits, encadrant une dynamique communautaire ancrée
dans une identité religieuse forte. Les Amish gardent en effet
un douloureux souvenir des persécutions passées, et
nous rappellent également, de manière silencieuse ou
par leurs actes, l’affreuse bêtise d’une humanité en
pleine perte de ses rameaux générationnels. En
témoignera le massacre du 2 octobre 2007 de plusieurs
fillettes Amish de la West Nickel Mines school par un membre ‘du
monde’ … Faits divers horrible qui ne pourra servir
d’argumentaire, mais qui offrira néanmoins aux Amish un
respect mondial, au vu du pardon accordé par les familles au
meurtrier. </span></span></div>

Les plain people sont, par définition,
des gens de la plaine. Expression d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>origine
anglo-saxonne, elle désigne des groupes originellement
chrétiens, ayant fait vœu d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>une
vie plus modeste. Le vocable <span lang="fr-FR">‘</span>plain
people<span lang="fr-FR">’</span> recouvre ces groupes qui ont su,
à travers le temps, conserver des usages et des coutumes d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>une
époque particulière, en les ancrant dans un dogmatisme
religieux assez strict, tels que les Amish et certains autres
Anabaptistes comme les Huttérites, les premiers Quakers, et
plus récemment, des groupes de chrétiens sans
dénominations ou encore ces ‘Plain Catholics’ ayant à
cœur de retourner à un style de vie où les
possessions, dont les vêtements, ne sont jamais magnifiées
ni pour ce qu<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>elles sont, ni pour ce
qu<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>elles pourraient nous amener à
donner comme images de nous-mêmes. L<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>image
légèrement caricaturale de la famille <span lang="fr-FR">‘</span>plain<span lang="fr-FR">’,
dont les vêtements soulignent un choix de vie différent,</span>
sera par exemple celle des Amish du film <span lang="fr-FR">‘</span>Witness<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>
ou celle de <span lang="fr-FR">‘</span>La petite maison dans la
prairie<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>. Anecdote amusante : la
plupart des acteurs de la série télévisée
étaient <span lang="fr-FR">…</span> Mormons<sup><span lang="fr-FR"><a class="sdfootnoteanc" href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1692141380472381851#sdfootnote1sym" name="sdfootnote1anc"><sup>1</sup></a></span></sup> !
Mais c<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>est autre histoire <span lang="fr-FR">…</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="fr-FR"> </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Alors que beaucoup croient que ces
groupes sont originaires des Etats-Unis, il n<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>en
est rien. C<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>est en Europe que leur
mouvement pris forme, aux alentours des années 1520, soit
quelques années à peine après la naissance de la
Réforme protestante. C<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>est comme
Anabaptistes que ces chrétiens radicaux furent identifiés,
puisqu<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>ils refusaient le baptême
des enfants au profit d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>un baptême
de conversion, lié à un choix personnel et raisonné.
La plupart d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>entre eux étant
néanmoins catholiques avant de se convertir à la
Réforme, ils se firent donc baptiser une seconde fois (<i>an-</i>).
Dès la naissance du mouvement, ses partisans s<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>illustrèrent
par leur active non-violence, leur liberté de conscience, et
une relecture de la Bible plutôt littérale. Comme
conséquence de leur activisme, ils furent pourchassés,
condamnés et même sacrifiés, tant par les
catholiques, que par les protestants classiques ! L<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>histoire
veut ensuite que les Anabaptistes aient gagné à leur
cause un prêtre catholique, Menno Simons. A partir de 1537
environ, on parle alors des Anabaptistes comme des Mennonites.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Pour deux raisons, les deux siècles
qui vont suivre seront synonymes de bien des schismes pour ces
Mennonites. D<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>abord, à cause des
persécutions et de l<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>expulsion des
Mennonites de France par Louis XIV en 1712, les Mennonites vont se
disperser, en Europe d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>abord, puis vont
s<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>exiler jusqu<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>aux
Etats-Unis. C<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>est en Pennsylvanie que les
plus radicaux d<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>entre eux, les Amish,
fonderont leur première colonie en 1737, sous la protection de
William Penn, célèbre Quaker à l<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>origine
de l<span lang="fr-FR">’</span>Etat, et protecteur zélé
des minorités religieuses. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="fr-FR">Aujourd</span><span lang="fr-FR">’hui,
il est difficile de dire précisément combien le monde
compte de Mennonites. Ils seraient environ 2 à 3 millions, en
ce compris une population de 180.000 Amish. Les Amish sont plus
précisément répartis principalement entre l’Etat
américain de Pennsylvanie (mais aussi dans une vingtaine
d’autres Etats), l’Amérique du Nord (aux côtés
des communautés Huttérites), et dans de moindres
proportions, l’Europe occidentale.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;">Or, un jour il monta
en barque avec ses disciples; il leur dit: «Passons sur l'autre rive du
lac», et ils gagnèrent le large. (Luc 8:22)
<br />Le Christ prend avec lui ses disciples, et cherche à rejoindre l'autre côté du Lac (de Tibériade). Sait-il seulement ce qui l'attend ? Une tempête gronde, et Jésus l'apaise. Un possédé, Gérasénien, est libéré, et Jésus lui demande raconter tout ce qu'il a fait pour lui.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;">Tibériade chez Luc est aussi le lieu où se déroula la pêche miraculeuse. Chez Jean, c'est là que le 'Christ cuisinier' se montrera (Jean 21,9) pour la dernière fois, sur cette rive où les disciples ne le reconnaissent pas.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />L'autre rive est ce que l'on aperçoit quand on n'ose pas faire un pas en avant, quand la peur ou la réserve nous empêche de nous ouvrir à la relation. Aussi étrange que le lien humain puisse être, il reste possible avec chacun, comme le Christ nous le montre avec le Gérasénien. Un possédé 'délié' (Marc 5,3), mais pas libéré. En passant sur l'autre rive, la perspective est inversée, nous voilà devenus étrangers. Y compris à nos proches, qui ne comprennent plus nos actes ; nul n'est prophète en son pays ! (Luc 4, 24) Le Christ lui-même n'est pas reconnu par ses disciples...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;">Notre vie en séparation relative, jamais absolue, du monde, nous pousse à voir cet épisode biblique à la fois comme une chance et comme un avertissement. Cette chance, c'est celle de pouvoir compter sur un Christ qui apaise nos tempêtes, un Christ qui comme Jean-Baptiste dans le désert prépare nos sentiers. C'est aussi la chance d'être mûs par l'Esprit de Dieu pour aller ailleurs, pour oser franchir les eaux-frontières de notre confort, de nos préjugés, de nos certitudes, pour témoigner d'un Dieu aimant, soucieux des plus petits, des plus torturés. En cultivant la confiance envers le Seigneur, nous voici libérés de nos peurs, emmenés sur d'autres rivages. L'avertissement est qu'il ne s'agit jamais d'une plénitude béate et acquise : le risque reste présent de ne plus reconnaître l'autre, de ne plus lui offrir notre regard, de ne plus nous faire proches de Dieu et de ceux qui nous entourent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial; font-size: x-small;">L'Evangile nous invite à l'équilibre, entre marche en avant, passage sur l'autre rive, ouverture à l'étranger et habitudes qui risquent de nous détourner de Dieu présent à nos côtés. Au coeur de nos vies, nous essayons d'entretenir cet équilibre entre ouverture au monde, et 'recentrement' pour mieux apercevoir le Christ qui cuisine pour nous ! Nous souhaitons être des veilleurs, mais des veilleurs actifs et ouverts à ceux et celles qui crient, comme Légion, Multitude, pour être libérés. Afin que des tombeaux ils et elles puissent retrouver les chemins et les villes...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">L’histoire semble avoir changé de direction. Si depuis les premières mises en forme et étalonnages en lignes du temps et de ses soubresauts, sa conception même, timidement, apparaît comme transcendée. Sans nous gausser de trop nombreux syllogismes inefficaces ni de termes barbares inappropriés, il serait néanmoins fâcheux de ne pas nous rendre compte que, malgré le côté cyclique et pérenne des conflits internationaux, de bien nombreux groupes locaux, minorités religieuses ou idéologiques, forcent aujourd’hui le monde à réfléchir sur ses choix de vie quotidiens. Pour exemple, l’association Greenpeace, en 2008, a montré que si l’humanité toute entière ne changeait pas son comportement vis-à-vis de sa surconsommation en viande, la planète toute entière devrait faire face à un déficit de matières premières d‘ici quelques dizaines d‘années, tout en ayant à contrer les effets dévastateurs d’un élevage intensif à l’effrayante production de CO2. Un constat à titre illustratif, qui ne tiendra pas compte non plus des dommages d’une alimentation formatée et ‘hormonisée’ à outrance sur nos organismes, du besoin croissant de nos pays industrialisés en terres cultivables, de l’effet de nos industries sur le climat, entre autres ! Une chaîne sans fin qui risque bien de nous ouvrir les portes d’un avenir sombre, si d’aucuns avaient décidé de conjurer le sort.</span><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Car si aujourd’hui les institutions internationales prennent acte, avec grand sérieux, du comportement de leurs Etats, d’autres n’ont pas attendu le protocole de Kyoto pour poser des gestes forts en faveur de la planète, en ce compris, de la famille humaine. Devant pareils constats, qui, chiffres et études à l’appui, nous révèlent combien nous avons maltraité la planète, notre conscience en a donc pris un sacré coup. Ou au moins, notre esprit a pu s’éclairer un peu. Et on voit ainsi, depuis plusieurs années, des groupes taxés d’utopistes ou de marginaux, appliquer à notre époque des principes de vie découverts à l’ère hippie. Ou encore d’autres faire de leur mieux pour intégrer dans leur actes quotidiens une dose de responsabilité citoyenne.</span><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Que l’on réfléchisse de manière sérieuse à la manière dont nous mangeons, dont nous consommons, dont nous vivons, et son incidence sur notre vie personnelle, notre santé, notre vie sociale aussi, et il sera une évidence pour tous que ces logiques les unes et les autres imbriquées ne pourront nous entraîner vers un mieux. </span><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">L’histoire a changé de direction. Pour la première fois depuis longtemps, ce mouvement discret et silencieux, qui a fait régulièrement émerger des hommes et des femmes aux idées doucement révolutionnaires, se mute en une toile qui, comme une copie de la noosphère de Teilhard de Chardin, rassemble peu à peu des individus, des familles, des groupes constitués, autour de choix de vie légers ou radicaux à la portée universelle, inscrits comme conditions d’existence dans un long terme pas forcément contraire aux objectifs de rendement actuels, mais en tous cas davantage tourné vers l’humain et la création que ne l’a jamais été la communauté internationale. A-t-on jamais parlé autant de village mondial qu’aujourd’hui ? N’a-t-on jamais tenté autant de rendre justice à la terre qu’aujourd’hui ? N’a-t-on jamais plus qu’aujourd’hui écouté ceux dont on riait hier, qu’ils soient écologistes, végétariens, membres de communautés de vie, paysans ? </span><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><br style="font-family: inherit;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ce fort modeste blog ne se risquera pas à brandir les armes d’une quelconque revendication organisée, ou à appuyer les choix ou directives d’un quelconque mouvement ou parti. Celui-ci ne cherche qu’à tendre vers un but unique : encourager les hommes et les femmes de bonne volonté, où qu’ils soient, à envisager l’avenir de manière sereine, puisque bâti autour de choix privés responsabilisants, et surtout, garants de bonheur ! Car il ne s’agit que d’une somme de choix, dont on pourra s’inspirer, tout en les confrontant à sa propre expérience et situation de vie. Dire cela, c’est aussi poser les nombreuses limites de ce bref manifeste, davantage établi comme une charte de vie personnelle à destination de ceux ou celles qui souhaiteraient également découvrir d’autres richesses de vie, loin des ouvrages trop faciles de développement personnel …</span></span>An Amish lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08588460099357417661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692141380472381851.post-13699553707509773792012-03-16T07:27:00.000-07:002012-03-19T11:27:12.499-07:00Vers un essai de définition<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Depuis de nombreuses années, les </span><span style="font-size: small;">Amish, Mennonites et autres Plain People continuent d'intriguer nos contemporains. On les dit fixés dans le siècle dernier (ce qui est faux), fermes dans le rejet total du monde qui les entoure (ce qui est tout aussi erroné), politiquement et religieusement conservateurs, voire sectaires. A côté de cela, une frange croissante de croyants et de non-croyants continuent de considérer les Amish comme une des dernières populations pacifiques du globe, dont la piété et l'hygiène de vie contribueraient d'ores et déjà à l'édification du Royaume...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">La vérité se situe sans aucun doute entre ces deux extrêmes. <br />Il reste que certains parmi nous ont été conquis par les Amish, et ont souhaité, pour de multiples raisons qui seront peu à peu abordées ici, faire de l'être Amish un projet de vie à part entière : comme la poursuite d'un meilleur équilibre entre foi et vie quotidienne, sous-tendue par plusieurs siècles de tradition. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Si la plupart d'entre nous ne sont ni Amish, ni Mennonites, nous croyons pourtant qu'il est possible de suivre des principes de foi et de vie tels que proposés par nos 'ancêtres' issus, rappelons-le, du continent européen. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">-> Tout l'enjeu de ces pages sera de comprendre, en anglais comme en français (dans la mesure du possible), comment intérêt culturel et vocation chrétienne nous poussent à vouloir embrasser leur mode de vie. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Since a couple of years, Amish, Mennonite and other
Plain People are centers of interest for modern people. They say they are fixed
in an old century (that’s wrong), or in total rejection of this world (wrong,
too), politically or religiously conservative, sectarian. But other people see
them as people of peace, who are building the Kingdom because of their piety
and righteousness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The truth is perhaps between these two sides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We surely love the Amish, for so many reasons we
will discuss here. And what we would like to do, is to live a life lighted by
Amish values and art of living. The ‘Amish being’ can be a road for believers
to live ; their tradition can help us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Most of us are nor Amish, nor Mennonite, but we
want to follow our european parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">-> The challenge of these pages is to understand
(in English and french as possible) how a cultural interest and a christian
call can give us this will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
