They receive communion twice every year, and it always takes place in spring and fall. Amish will receive a piece of homemade bread, genuflect, then eat it. Then they drink from a chalice of wine. It is a very special ceremony, and afterward, men and women are separated to wash each others feet as a sign of humbleness, humility, obedience to God, and respect.

The Amish do not take non-adults into church membeship. Church membership cannot be taken lightly, for one who joins the church and falls away from the church is "shunned", unable to talk to friends and family, until he comes back into the church. Teenages boys often go through a period of highly outrageous living,hemuch like a colt kids his heels up, in order to"get it out of his system". It'stypically no different thanwhat English kids go through at the same age,the teen angst and rebelliousness. In the 1953 movie, "The Wild One", Peggy Male aked, "Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?"tween reaching and Maelon Brando answered "Whadda you got?" Rumspringa is that period before joining the church.
