Hard Ride of Rte. 95 / Summer '2005
While our children played a sandlot baseball game with a group of Amish children in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, I interviewed Elvy Miller. He told me the Amish here were feeling a spiritual calling to help facilitate reconciliation with the Native Americans in the area. Elvy said because of the intense persecution his people felt in Europe prior to coming to America, they felt a special empathy for the persecution the Native Americans have experienced here. (Miller had recently talked at Gonzaga University's "Institute of Hate Studies" about these types of issues.)
