Three points I wanted to discuss on the Missouri Amish abuse case. I confess my previous post on the issue was a bit hastily and not too terribly well written. I also wish I were more of an expert on the Amish approach to two kingdoms doctrine as it would likely come in handy in such cases. I find the two kingdoms doctrine fascinating but…
