First Ever “Emerging” Amish Church第一次“新兴”阿米什教会

Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : December 12, 2007写的马克范steenwyk : 2007年12月12日

The first ever “emerging” Amish church will launch on December 23rd just outside of Columbus, Ohio.有史以来第一次“新兴”阿米什教会将推出对12月23日刚刚以外的美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市。 The church, calling itself “Solomon’s Barn” blends cutting edge worship with Amish sensibilities.教会,自称为“所罗门的马厩”共混物的尖端崇拜与阿米什面子。 Its pastor, Jacob Yoder (who prefers to be called “Jay”) believes that the Amish can learn from emerging styles of worship.其牧师,雅各布厂家优化(谁喜欢被称为“杰伊” )认为,阿米绪可以借鉴新兴风格的崇拜。 “We’re ready for something new…something fresh,” says Pastor Jay. “我们准备了一些新的东西…新鲜,说: ”牧师杰伊。

When asked about his sources of inspiration, Pastor Jay (who wears a soul-patch instead of a traditional Amish beard) responded by saying: “I mean, there I was, settling with ‘church as usual’ when I stumbled upon the writings of Brian McLaren.当问及他的消息来源的灵感,牧师杰伊(谁穿的灵魂-修补程序而不是一个传统的阿米什胡子)回应说: “我的意思是,有我,解决与'教会如常' ,当我偶然发现的著作布赖恩麦克拉伦。 I felt like his words were coming right from my own head, you know?我觉得像他的话,未来的权利,从我自己的头,你知道吗? I realized that I was a postmodern Amish person…I needed to reject pre-modernism for a more authentic faith.”我意识到我是一个后现代阿米什人… …我需要拒绝前现代主义,为一个更真实的信仰“ 。

Worship at Solomon’s Barn reflects Amish traditions…for example, the men and women are seated separately, but instead of pews, the congregation sits on couches in their worship space–a renovated barn.崇拜在所罗门的马厩反映阿米什传统…举例来说,男人和女人是坐在另外,而是pews ,聚集,坐在沙发上,在他们的崇拜空间的一座重新装修的马厩。 Women still wear head coverings, but many of the coverings have patches sown into them that say “another world is possible” or “jesus was homeless.” Many of the worship songs are simply contemporary Amish pop tunes with worshipful lyrics added.妇女仍然穿头覆盖,但很多的覆盖有补丁播种到他们说: “另一个世界是可能的”或“耶稣是人无家可归。 ”许多崇拜的歌曲纯粹是当代阿米什流行曲调,歌词与worshipful补充。 And while Amish worship services have always used candles–or lanterns–this new hip, Amish church drapes black cloth around their makeshift sanctuary.而阿米什崇拜的服务一直使用蜡烛或灯笼-这个新的髋关节,阿米什教会黑色窗帘布周围临时庇护所。

Miriam Kauffman has been a member of the core team for the past 5 months.刘健仪考夫曼已成为会员的核心团队,为过去5个月。 “I have finally found a place where I belong…where it is ok to ask questions,” says Ms. Kauffman. “我终于找到了地方,我所属的地方…这是确定发问,说: ”女士考夫曼。 “Really, Solomon’s Barn is about questions, rather than answers.” “真的,索罗门的马厩是有关的问题,而非答案” 。

While many young people are excited about a new church, just for them, not everyone is happy with these changes.虽然许多年轻的人感到兴奋的新教会,只是对于他们来说,并非人人都乐意与这些变化。 Hiram Grebel–a local Amish Bishop–believes that this new “emerging” church is coming close to heresy: “This is just a neo-English cult.”西贡格列伯-当地阿米什主教-认为,这一新的“新兴”教会是接近异端: “这只是一个新英语邪教” 。

Pastor Jay isn’t worried: “There are a number of us who are embracing a post-Amish understanding of our faith.牧师杰伊并不担心: “有一些我们谁是拥抱后阿米什人了解我们的信仰。 Things are changing, and we need to be relevant to young, post-modern Amish young adults.”事情正在发生变化,我们需要得到有关的青少年,后现代阿米什年轻的成年人“ 。

Director of Emergent, Tony Jones, agrees: “There are vibrant new communities emerging from many denominations.总急诊,托尼琼斯,同意: “有活力的新社区中出现的许多教派。 Controversy comes with the territory.争论来与该国领土。 I think what Jay is doing is great.我觉得什么杰伊是这样做是巨大的。 He’s the future of the movement.”他的未来的运动“ 。
