The Ordnung is a set of behavioral rules, and all members within a church agree to have their lives ordered by that code. Each person is expected to live simple lives devoted to God, to family, and to the community, based upon their understanding of God's laws. [3] To the Amish, the Ordnung provides a strong sense of group identity.
