Amish & Mennonites are often confused for one another. How are they alike and how are they different?

My name is Erik Wesner and I'm not Amish. Back in 2004, I met the Amish while selling books. Since then, I've visited 5,000+ Amish homes & dozens of Amish communities. I run the Amish America website. More: https://amishamerica.com/
