The New Order Amish permit the use of electricity in the home. The Beachy Amish have fewer limits on the use of technology. The Amish Mennonites consist of various churches which split from the Old Order Amish; some retained the conservative lifestyle of the Old Order Amish while some did not. The Ordnung is the guide to Amish community standards, and may differ from community to community and district to district. Generally, the bishops or other leaders meet periodically and discuss common concerns, including technology. Decisions are then passed on to the ministers and deacons. Variations develop from community to community. Petitions are accepted for use of particular technologies in their local communities. The Amish do not consider technology as evil. The rejection of technology is an effort to avoid connection with the outside world. Restrictions are not meant to impose suffering.Electricity may be used in some communities when it can be produced without access to the outside. Batteries are sometimes acceptable. Electric generators are sometimes used for welding, recharging batteries, and powering milk stirrers. Motorized wheelchairs may be used by the disabled. Electricity may be permitted for medical equipment. Some of the Beachy Amish congregations permit the use of automobiles. Some Amish communities may permit the restricted use of telephones. Some communities may also permit the use of cell phones and computers for business purposes.
