title: Amish Meidung Discipline
|
|
description: >-
|
|
An Amish practice of communal discipline in which a member who has
|
|
violated the Ordnung (community rules) and refused to repent is shunned
|
|
— members limit social contact to encourage repentance and restoration.
|
|
Rooted in Anabaptist tradition and based on Matthew 18:15-17.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Private admonition
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A member who has violated the Ordnung is first admonished privately by
|
|
one or two members, seeking repentance and restoration.
|
|
- headline: Bring to the church
|
|
description: >-
|
|
If private admonition fails, the matter is brought to the church
|
|
(congregation). The member is again urged to repent.
|
|
- headline: Vote on meidung
|
|
description: >-
|
|
If the member still refuses, the congregation votes to enter meidung
|
|
— shunning. The vote is a communal act, not a leader's decree.
|
|
- headline: Shun to restore
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members limit social contact with the shunned person — no communal
|
|
meals, no business — while continuing family obligations. The purpose
|
|
is to make restoration desirable, not to exile permanently.
|
|
- headline: Receive the repentant
|
|
description: >-
|
|
If the member repents, the congregation receives them back with joy
|
|
and a vote to end the meidung. Restoration, not punishment, is the
|
|
end.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A member is disciplined by the community with the explicit goal of
|
|
restoration; shunning ends the moment repentance is genuine.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Meidung is painful and used rarely. The purpose is always restoration,
|
|
not exile. Family obligations continue even in shunning — it is social,
|
|
not familial, severance. |
