Hutterites, the Amish and Old Order Mennonites live simply and separately from wider mainstream society. (Karen Pauls/CBC)Restrictions on electronic mediaWhile Hutterite communities have strong connections to the outside world, Old Order Mennonites are already separate and self-sufficient. Some Old Order Mennonite leaders told Loewen they are contemplating writing out their sermons and delivering the text personally to each household.
