They do! Lots of modern workarounds these days. Depends on the specific church/pastor within the religion I think. Like, if someone else charges the computer they can type on it. I don't have a rec, sorry! But I bet you can find an actual Amish person.

Some communities are even starting to use cell phones. There are specific apps that they can use to limit the functionality to only the features that their community wants to access.
