Shunning is a cruel practice. In one of Paul's epistles, he urges that sinners be restored in a kindly manner. Thank you for this beautiful, sensitive film.

I would have liked to have seen her meet her biological mother. This was a good movie. Michael Landon, Jr. directed the movie and he has his Father's touch.

You might find this hard to believe, but in the summer of 1988 with permission of Mr. John Lapp (it must be a common surname) he allowed me to pitch my tent on his farmland for two weeks. Twice I ate at their table with the whole family. I was working at a nearby restaurant. I found this film difficult to watch remembering how kind they were to me. This film brought back many memories.

HookBeak_66: Even mafia bosses can be kind, and it’s also “good p.r.” to be “kind to strangers/outsiders.” It’s those they hold the ball & chain over who know what they do; who they are. They enslave and “rule” through creating “fear of losing everything.” Many people have committed suicide. They destroy the lives of many, trust me, I know.

I lived in Ontario (Canada) for several years. There are a lot of Amish people around in these small villages and towns. Just like in this movie you can still see these carriages pulled by horses. I read several books about their lives. The shunning is still practiced against those who do not submit to the council of elders. But other religious groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Mennonites, have similar practices. This also happens in some Protestant churches. I have experienced similar “rejection” ( by the Protestant group) because I had a different opinion. So I understands perfectly what happened in this movie. The end of this movie showed beautifully how love prevails. Both parents finally had a strength and broke what was rooted in them... they understood their daughter and realized that the world they live in can be very cruel. This young girl decided to leave the group, I think for two reasons. She wanted to find contact with her biological mother and did not want her parents who raised her to be shunned by this group like she was. I am sure they found a way to stay in contact …,

Yes in the series that this book is based on she does eventually stay in contact and has a reoccurring mention/ roles in the books that follow. Beverly Lewis is a wonderful author in this genre. I recommend her books and this is one of my favorite series of hers. There's 2 more books after the shunning that follow Katie's story. And I totally agree with your comment about the type of isolation placed on people within "religious" groups and it's sad. If we use the Bible as God's authority and not man's conviction we should never have that problem but...we're fallible and sinful and prideful so we do.. and instead of just agreeing to disagree on the different conclusions we come to concerning scripture we become offended and react incorrectly. Thank God for Jesus and grace because we definitely need both.

@carolina_girl3484 Michael Landon's affair with Cindy Clerico had major consequences. For one thing, it made things "incredibly awkward" on the set of "Little House on the Prairie" because the cast knew Landon's family, Karen Grassle wrote (via Showbiz CheatSheet). "I knew his wife," she recalled. "I had been in their home. She had been kind to me. And I thought about her children - there were three of them still at home ... and younger than Cindy." The affair also damaged Landon's relationship with co-star Melissa Gilbert, who played his TV daughter Laura. "I have to work with Mike, I can't take sides, yet he's done something that's turned my world into angry, opposing sides." Gilbert wrote in her own memoir "Prairie Tale." "I was put in a horribly, uncomfortable position." Things came to a head when Lynn Noe followed Landon and Clerico after learning of the affair, according to the New York Post, who reported that Noe confronted her husband and threw a bottle of vodka at his head. At first, however, it looked like the pair might get back together, and Landon even said they would renew their vows. But this was not to be. The mistress becomes the wife Cindy Landon Eventually, Michael Landon and Lynn Noe split up, according to the New York Post. Cindy Clerico became pregnant before the divorce could be finalized. Landon and Clerico were married in 1983. The entire situation hurt Landon's career and relationship with his co-stars. He lost several endorsements including from Kodak. He also lost the respect of co-stars like Melissa Gilbert, who had looked up to Landon as a father figure.

This is about the reality of adoption world wide, the consequences of what happened when children weren't told of their beginnings. People shouldn't judge the Amish people and their beliefs. No one religion is perfect but they are wrong to treat her like that - the parents & the community should have been given advice too. The parents & community can't change how she feels inside. Both mums made huge sacrifices.

"The Shunning" was followed by "The Confession" and "The Reckoning." "The Confession" (2013) is the continuing story of Katie Lapp, a young Amish woman who goes on a journey in search of her identity - only to find herself embroiled in a mystery that must be solved before she can be reunited with the "Englisher" mother who gave her up to adoption 20 years earlier. "The Reckoning" (2015)is the conclusion to the story.

@joannebaek4551

The development of this severity in the Amish faith did NOT come from the spiritual roots but developed under the hatred, imprisonment, and murder that reigned down on Amish and fellow baptism-in-adulthood faiths. The idea that only an adult could make a conscious decision for baptism flew in the face of other Christian faiths which did infant baptism - both positions strongly believed by their respective faith believers and practitioners. I am NOT denying that it is a problem, particularly shunning - but understanding how dangerous it was to be Amish/Anabaptist early on in the history of these faiths, and how keenly they strived for isolation only because they were safer that way, may help us understand and feel compassion for this horrific historical experience, and understand how the isolationist features have become strongly held practice. It is my understanding that the degree to which, and details of the stricter restrictions, are held in various communities varies widely, due to independent softenings of this strategy.

they listen to hymns which is very much music, just spiritual music.. a lot of the music we listen to today is evil!! And furthermore, if we were to live by the Bible completely… a lot of people would be shunned in today’s time, the Bible does speak of separating ourselves from unbelievers… and we are supposed to separate ourselves from unbelievers and not allow their sin in our homes or lives!! But today people want to change the Bible to their own beliefs… it doesn’t matter how much you try to change it or how much you don’t agree with it… we are in the last days and he is coming back very soon, day we will have no excuses!! g God is a good God and a faithful God BUT…. You have to live your life according to his laws, his commandments.!! God gave his own son to die for the sins of the world an ungrateful world.. who is always trying to change his word to fit thier desires… Shunning is mentioned in the Bible, not using the word shun, but it does tell us to separate ourselves from sinners and their sin!!

​@@authorcole The Bible also tells us of helping sinners repent, and try and show them the way of God. So, how can you do that if you're not in contact, a minimum at least?

In the book, her shunning is much harsher. She endures it for much longer. She ends up going to live with her mom's cousin who is Mennonite. It is from there that she leaves from New York. In the book, while her parents certainly love her, they follow the old Amish dictates to the letter of the law regarding her shunning. I like the ending to the movie much more than the book. The 2nd and 3rd books are also amazing, although the first movie portrayed her birth mother, Laura's, story, much differently in the books.

SING IT OUT! Psalm 150 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens![a] 2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! 3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

The amish parents sinned by not telling their friends and family that their daughter was adopted.

If the elderly board shunned her because Kate was adopted. She did not marry the widowed bishop. I should leave their community and start living with my biological mother. She was not born in the Amish beliefs. She was raised only by two people from Amish community. She should start for looking for her real mother.
