Bergholz Community
The Bergholz Community, also called Bergholz Clan or Bergholz Amish, is a religious group of former Amish under the leadership of Sam Mullet and located at Bergholz, Ohio, that became known for a series of "beard cutting" attacks on members of an Amish community.
== History ==
In 1995 a new Amish settlement was founded in Bergholz, Ohio, on the initiative of Sam Mullet, who wanted to create a settlement more conservative than the very conservative Amish settlement he was residing at that time. In 1997 Mullet was ordained minister for the new settlement and in 2001 he was ordained bishop in an unusual form.〔Donald B. Kraybill: ''Renegade Amish - Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes, and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers'', Baltimore, MD 2014, page XV.〕 Amish tradition requires that at least three bishops take part in the ordination ceremony of a new bishop. In Sam Mullet's case there was only one other bishop present. In early 2006 Sam Mullet excommunicated the deacon of the community and soon nine families, more than a third of the Bergolz Amish population, left the settlement and were also excommunicated by Sam Mullet. Many of the families that were driven out felt that the ban was not just. They could not join other conservative settlements without having the ban lifted by Sam Mullet because the more conservative affiliations of the Amish practice "strict shunning" (German: ''strenge Meidung'') that requires the persons who are excommunicated to return to their former bishop and confess their sins to be able to join another strict shunning community.〔Donald B. Kraybill: ''Renegade Amish - Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes, and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers'', Baltimore, MD 2014, page 33.〕
Because many Amish bishops in a meeting in June 2006 in Pennsylvania also felt that the ban of so many families from Bergholz may not be applied according to tradition a committee of five bishops was formed to examine the case and look for a solution. But no solution could be found with Sam Mullet. A second impartial committee of seven bishops was also not successful and in the end three hundred Amish ministers in a meeting at Ulysses, Pennsylvania decided in September 2006 that tin the case of Sam Mullet the traditional rule could not be applied and the excommunicated members were free to join other "strict shunning" Amish group.
