I wouldn't call the Amish pacifists, they have a forgiving heart.. Just as the Bible teaches all of us should have.
If the man who shot the children had the same forgiving heart this never would have happened.
Perhaps if our country would go back to the teachings of Jesus a lot of bad things wouldn't happen out of revenge.

The Amish are Anabaptists, like the Mennonites, the Hutterites and a few other splinters. They along with the Quakers are the original peace churches and are well known for their pacifist works.
