On Monday morning, October 2, 2006, a gunman entered a one-room Amish school in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. In front of twenty-five horrified pupils, thirty-two-year-old Charles Roberts ordered the boys and the teacher to leave. After tying the legs of the ten remaining girls, Roberts prepared to shoot them execution with an automatic rifle and four hundred rounds of ammunition that he brought for the task. The oldest hostage, a thirteen-year-old, begged Roberts to "shoot me first and let the little ones go." Refusing her offer, he opened fire on all of them, killing five and leaving the others critically wounded. He then s*** himself as police stormed the building. His motivation? "I'm angry at God for taking my little daughter," he told the children before the massacre. The story captured the attention of broadcast and print media in the United States and around the world. By Tuesday morning some fifty television crews had clogged the small village of Nickel Mines, staying for five days until the killer and the killed were buried. The blood was barely dry on the schoolhouse floo***hen Amish parents brought words of f***iveness to the family of the one who had slain their children. The outside world was incredulous that such f***iveness could be offered so quickly for such a heinous crime. Of the hundreds of media queries that the authors received about the shooting, questi*** about f***iveness rose to the top. F***iveness, in fact, eclipsed the tragic story, trumping the violence and arresting the world's attention. Within a week of the murders, Amish f***iveness was a central theme in more than 2,400 news stories around the world. The Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, Newsweek, NBC Nightly News, CBS Morning News, Larry King Live, Fox News, Oprah, and dozens of other media outlets heralded the f***iving Amish. From the Khaleej Times (United Arab Emirates) to Australian television, international media were opining on Amish f***iveness. Three weeks after the shooting, "Amish f***iveness" had appeared in 2,900 news stories worldwide and on 534,000 web sites. Fresh from the funerals where they had buried their own children, grieving Amish families accounted for half of the seventy-five people who attended the killer's burial. Roberts' widow was deeply moved by their presence as Amish families greeted her and her three children. The f***iveness went beyond talk and graveside presence: the Amish also ***ed a fund for the shooter's family. AMISH GRACE explores the many questi*** this story raises about the religious beliefs and habits that led the Amish to f***ive so quickly. It looks at the ties between f***iveness and membership in a cloistered communal society and ask if Amish practices parallel or diverge from other religious and secular noti*** of f***iveness. It will also address the matter of why f***iveness became news. "All the religi*** teach it," mused an observer, "but no one does it like the Amish." Regardless of the cultural seedbed that nourished this story, the surprising act of Amish f***iveness begs for a deeper exploration. How could the Amish do this? What did this act mean to them? And how might thei***itness prove useful to the rest of us?
