Bonjour Véronica,
hélas, il n’y a plus d’Amish en France, mais bien plusieurs communautés de frères, des communautés anabaptistes, etc.
Le centre mennonite de Paris pourra par courrier, mail ou téléphone, te donner toutes les informations utiles à ce sujet

Bonnes recherches !
Bob.

Hello Philip;
perhaps you could have a contact with the Waterford Amish Mennonite community in Ireland ? I just read an article about them here : http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/unique-irish-community-the-amish-of-dunmore-east-2940332.html

I juts dreamed about the come back of Amish in Europe; you said the anabaptist history was painful : numbers of histories from the Martyrs Mirror come from our land. Here Anabaptists were persecuted by both Catholics, and Protestants ! We are of course not proud at all about that…

Today, there are a few mennonite communities in Belgium, and I think some Brethren also. Another research subject::)

have a nice end of the week,
Bob.

I’m grateful for this thread and the article. Some while ago I posted a piece on my blog under the title of ‘Amish in the Uk’: http://radref.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/amish-in-uk.html

It could have been a short article, because at the moment there aren’t Amish in the UK. I am a member of Wood Green Mennonite Church in London. On a personal basis for some years I have been publicly welcoming of the possibility of Amish communities in the UK. Anabaptist history is a painful story here in Britain. Without persecution it is likely that a full spectrum of Anabaptist-Menonite and Hutterite communties would be thriving here. I’m not in possession of any great resources but I would be willing to offer what support I could to Amish communities considering life and mission in Britain. I am also very much interested in seeing Mennonite churches and communities keeping in touch more closely in the British Isles. Shalom, Philip Wood

Thank you so much !

Bob.

Dear Bob and others,

The mission in Ireland is still strong and growing. In fact, we as a Dutch family are moving over there next month to join them. We moved to England a couple of years ago and through various contacts discovered that the Conservative Anabaptist way is Gods way. God bless you all.

Dear people,
I come back, with a bad news. In fact, I finally received an anwser to my questions, via the Mennonite Center of Brussels. The Paul Yoder’s family (Beachy Amish Mission in Belgium) came back to the USA in 2008.
It’s sad to say, but there is no more Beachy or other Amish in Belgium
I’ll have to find if hte Ireland congregation exists yet. Please notice ther is one congregation in Poland; Eric wrote about it in AmishAmerica blog.

Have yourself a merry Christmas,
Bob.

This is an answer one year later…
The Amish Church was (still is ?) based in Poperinge. I found three different adresses to write to, never get an answer, and one mail came back to me.
Ik zal deze zomer in Poperinge gaan om te begrijpen wat gebeurt.
