| Abstract | This article examines the differences between the "Gay Dutch" and the "Plain Dutch," which are mainly separated along religious lines among the Pennsylvania Dutch. The "Gay Dutch" were those who lived in "the world" and made no attempt to reject its cultural pattern. The "Plain Dutch" were those who preferred to live apart, in the world and yet not of it. The "Gay Dutch" are the majority, and they set the pattern of what we generally know as Pennsylvania Dutch culture. The "Plain Dutch," the Amish, are the minority. The distinctions between the two groups are described, and the history, development, and practices of the Plain Dutch are closely examined. |
