Oba, my name is Reverend Abram Lepp of the Halbstadt colony over by near Muntau and Hierschau. You know the place. I think we’re prob’ly second cousins on the Loewen side. Anyway, I’ve been seein’ just vay too many Mannos dressing wrong for the sit-you-ay-shun. As Mannanites, vee take dress and appearance very serious yet. So, I’ve studied the script-chers and created this handy guide yet for yous guys all.

CHURCH

This painting by the Rembrandt shows da sort of attire ax-pected of Mannonites at church. Dark colours, head coverings, dour depressed expressions on your face, oba, for sure. Dis has remained unchanged since Rembrandt’s days in da old country. I hear some church let people wear vat-ever dey vant…I also hear the Devil lets people wear vat-ever dey want. I say don’t risk it!
