I believe so. I think they were allowed to use some modern conveniences like cars with no chrome and such.

Very close, we refer to them as Amish light. They can use some modern conveniences, but only utilitarian and necessary.

Similar, but not the same. Amish are an offshoot of the Mennonites (yes, that’s correct, not the other way around). They’re the doctrinal (and in most cases physical) descendants of the Anabaptists who fled Lutheran persecution in Europe.
