All Old Order Mennonites reject certain technologies (e.g. television), but the extent of this rejection depends on the group. Old Order groups generally place great emphasis on a disciplined community instead of the individual's faith beliefs. The Pennsylvania German language is spoken and vigorous among all horse-and-buggy groups except the Virginia Old Order Mennonites, who lost the language before becoming Old Order. There is no overall church or conference to unite all the different groups of Old Order Mennonites. A large minority of Old Order Mennonites use automobiles (~10,000 members), whereas a majority (~17,000 members) have retained horse and buggy transportation.
