Retiring scholar’s mission: solving Amish riddle

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — Donald B. Kraybill has written about the forgiving Amish of Nickel Mines, Pa., and the revengeful Amish of Bergholz, Ohio.

Now, after 44 years of immersion in the Anabaptist worldview and more than two dozen books, some translated into nine languages, Kraybill is retiring from teaching at Elizabethtown College.

His retirement was celebrated April 9 as former students, family and colleagues shared stories of their journey with Kraybill.
