<p>I had a great tour at Eastern Mennonite College (in Virginia). I didn’t know what to expect, really–I knew they weren’t as strict as Amish (support of higher education being an obvious difference!) but had some similar beliefs. Our tour guide was herself Mennonite, very well-spoken and thoughtful–and wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts. She noted there were Mennonites of all stripes on campus (and in the world).</p>
