Amish

Recently they have been bought to the media due to some very terrible events which happened on the Amish community in America. Rest in peace to the victims, very saddening.

It's almost as if looking back in time when looking at the way they dress and live, I know there origins stem from Germanic Europe and they practise a sect of Christianity. Why do they remain as they are? Would anyone care to explain more about these people.
