    If the Amish weren’t Christian, I’d be tempted to join them…

      Ever heard of Wwoofing? There are tons of not christian international communities with their own vibe around. There’s also many more not listed aka you just kinda need to know people.

        Even if that’s true on an individual level - they often pool funds as a community to those in need (mutual aid).

        The Amish where I live are doing better than most people with their businesses, which are thriving in this economy.

          I’m assuming this was a typo – sea duck community support makes no sense – but I can’t quite figure out what the intended word was. Elder? Other? Something else?

            Whoops, meant to write wider community support. Like Catholic nuns and priests have the congregation who tithe and a similar system for Buddhist monks as well as monks off a lot of faiths.
