Unlike the Amish, Mennonites are not prohibited from using motorized vehicles. In addition, Mennonites are also allowed to use electricity and telephones in their homes. When it comes to their beliefs, the Amish and Mennonite faiths are very similar. The differences lie mainly in the outward practice of those beliefs.

We have a bunch of them (Amish) in this area. A lot of what they can do is controlled by the local bishop. If he is hard-lined, lot of restrictions, if he is for want of better words
reformed certain rules can be bent or not followed.
I see them often at the local shopping center, at least one in the group has a cell phone and they drive around in work trucks or cargo vans.
