Amish faith lost when beliefs and government clashed

January 10, 2018

PENNSYLVANIA - The case Yoder v. Sugar Grove Area Sewer Authority was heard in a Pennsylvania state appellate court, concluding a five-year legal battle when a 2-1 court decision ruled the Old Order Amish couple has to connect to a sewer system using electric equipment.

The family can appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court but that does not guarantee its appeal will move forward.
