Amish

Account of Amish Banishment

Irene Miller Garret's recent memoire, Crossing Over: One Woman's Exodus from Amish Life," provides a window into the Old Order Amish community, whose strict rules and insularity proved too much for the spirited Garrett. She remains excommunicated from the Amish church — she ran away from home to marry an outsider who worked for Amish families in Kaolona, IA — and shunned by her family. Garrett says that women are "second-class, subservient to men" among her Amish kin, and that certain "inconsistencies" in the community bother her: a few select members of the church could break rules while most others could not. She also questioned the notion that the outside world was wicked. Since her marriage, Garrett has earned a GED, in her new Kentucky home, and hopes to attend nursing school. (Cynthia J. McGroarty, Knight-Ridder Tribune New, Houston Chronicle, 1/18/2002, Internet)
