摘要：Mennonites in the United States regarded farming as an ideal occupation, but economic difficulties with agriculture have led many Mennonites to participate in new economic activities. Ethnographic research in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, examined how religious beliefs influence occupational decisions among members of two Mennonite subgroups. Divergent interpretations of a Mennonite tenet—separation from the secular world—play a large part in church members’ occupational decisions.
