Over time, differences in interpreting these principles led to various groups, including the Mennonites, named after Menno Simons, a key leader who emphasized peace and community (Kraybill, 2010). As the years passed, some felt the Mennonites were becoming too relaxed in their commitment to these core values. In 1693, Jacob Amman, a Swiss elder, called for stricter adherence to separation from the world and the practice of shunning those who strayed. This ultimately led to a split, with Amman's followers becoming known as the Amish (Meyers &amp; Nolt, 2004).<\/p>\n<p> So, you see, the Amish didn't just appear out of nowhere. They emerged from within the Mennonite tradition, seeking to preserve what they believed was the true essence of their shared Anabaptist heritage. It's like two siblings who grow up in the same home but choose different ways to live out the values they were taught. Both are still family their lives look quite different (Meyers &amp; Nolt, 2004). In their quest for simplicity and spiritual purity, the Amish established distinct practices that often contrast with more modern Mennonite communities. This divergence in lifestyle does not mean that all aspects of their lives are harmonious; for instance, the topic of <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/learn\/do-amish-get-divorced\/\">\u043e\u0431\u044a\u044f\u0441\u043d\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0443\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043d\u044f \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0432\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0432 \u0443 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0435\u0439<\/a> \u0440\u0430\u0441\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0443\u0434\u0438\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0443\u044e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0443, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0430\u044f \u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0432\u044b\u0437\u043e\u0432 \u0440\u0430\u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u043c \u0437\u0430\u0431\u043b\u0443\u0436\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f\u043c \u043e\u0431 \u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438\u0446\u0438\u043e\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0445 \u0446\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044f\u0445. \u042d\u0442\u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0447\u0435\u0440\u043a\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0442 \u043d\u0435 \u0442\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u043e \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0436\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0438\u0445 \u043a\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0442\u0443\u0440\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438, \u043d\u043e \u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043d\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u043f\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0431\u044b, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u043c\u0438 \u0432\u0435\u0440\u0430 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442 \u0432\u043b\u0438\u044f\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u043b\u0438\u0447\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f.<\/p>\n<p> This historical context is so important because it helps us understand that disagreements don't have to mean division. Even when people interpret their faith differently, there's still room for respect and understanding. Just as Paul urged us in Romans 12:16, \"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited,\" we can appreciate the unique paths others take in their spiritual journeys, even when they diverge from our own. The Amish and Mennonites, despite their differences, remind us that faith is a personal journey, and God's love extends to all who seek Him, regardless of the specific traditions they follow (Lehman &amp; Nolt, 2007).<\/p>\n<h2>\u0412 \u0447\u0435\u043c \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430\u044e\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u044f \u0432 \u0432\u0435\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f\u0445 \u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0445 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0435\u0439 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432?<\/h2>\n<p> Although the Amish and Mennonites share common roots, their expressions of faith have evolved in distinct ways. It's like two artists using the same set of paints but creating very different masterpieces.<\/p>\n<p> One of the most visible differences lies in their approach to technology and modern society. The Amish, particularly the Old Order Amish, believe in a strict separation from the world, avoiding modern conveniences like cars, electricity, and most technology (Cooper, 2006, pp. 139\u2013153). They believe these things can lead to pride and distract from a simple, God-centered life. Their focus is on community, and traditional ways of living, emphasizing humility and obedience to God's Word. While the Amish maintain their traditions and avoid many modern influences, their approach to certain aspects of life can vary.

it's important to remember that these are broad generalizations. Just as there's diversity within Christianity as a whole, there's also diversity within both the Amish and Mennonite communities. Some Mennonites are quite conservative, while some Amish groups are more open to certain technologies. The key is to avoid stereotypes and recognize the individual journeys within each tradition.<\/p>\n<p> As it says in 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, \"There are different kinds of gifts the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service the same Lord. There are different kinds of working in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.\" Both the Amish and Mennonites, in their unique ways, are seeking to honor God and live out their faith. Their differences remind us that there's more than one way to follow Christ, and we can appreciate the richness and diversity within the body of Christ (Meyers &amp; Nolt, 2004).<\/p>\n<h2>\u0412\u0437\u0430\u0438\u043c\u043e\u0434\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u044e\u0442 \u043b\u0438 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0438 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u044b \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0433 \u0441 \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0433\u043e\u043c \u0432 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0441\u0435\u0434\u043d\u0435\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0438?<\/h2>\n<p> \u0412\u043e\u0442 \u0433\u0434\u0435 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043d\u043e. \u041d\u0435\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0442\u0440\u044f \u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u044f, \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0438 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u044b \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e \u0436\u0438\u0432\u0443\u0442 \u0431\u043e\u043a \u043e \u0431\u043e\u043a, \u043a\u0430\u043a \u0441\u043e\u0441\u0435\u0434\u0438 \u0441 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043d\u044b\u043c\u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0438\u043b\u044f\u043c\u0438 \u043b\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0448\u0430\u0444\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0434\u0438\u0437\u0430\u0439\u043d\u0430, \u043d\u043e \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u0439 \u043b\u044e\u0431\u043e\u0432\u044c\u044e \u043a \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0435\u0439 \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0435.<\/p>\n<p> Interaction between the two groups varies depending on the specific communities and their geographical proximity. In some areas, you'll find Amish and Mennonites working together in businesses, attending each other's auctions, and even helping each other in times of need (Meyers &amp; Nolt, 2004). There's a recognition of their shared heritage and a mutual respect for their faith, even if they express it differently.<\/p>\n<p> But there can also be social distance. Because the Amish maintain a stricter separation from the world, they may limit their interactions with Mennonites to certain contexts. For example, an Amish person might hire a Mennonite contractor to build a barn but wouldn't necessarily socialize with them outside of that business relationship. It's like having a friendly acquaintance at work but not spending time together on weekends.<\/p>\n<p> One area where interaction is more common is among the more progressive Amish groups, such as the Beachy Amish-Mennonites (Brown, 2019). These groups often share closer ties with Mennonites, sometimes even intermingling and intermarrying. They represent a bridge between the two traditions, demonstrating that the boundaries aren't always rigid.<\/p>\n<p> The level of interaction comes down to individual choices and community norms. Some Amish and Mennonites may have close friendships and regular contact, while others may maintain a more formal distance. But what's important is that, in most cases, there's a spirit of tolerance and respect.<\/p>\n<p> As Colossians 3:12-14 reminds us, \"Therefore, as God\u2019s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.\" Whether they're working side-by-side or simply living as peaceful neighbors, the Amish and Mennonites can model for us how to live in harmony, even with those who have different beliefs and practices. It's a beautiful reminder that love and respect can bridge divides and create strong, vibrant communities (Inoyatova, 2023).<\/p>\n<h2>\u041a\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044b \u043e\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d\u044b \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u043c\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0443 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043c\u0438?<\/h2>\n<p>Isn't it fascinating how God's family, like any family, can sometimes experience disagreements? The Amish and Mennonites, both rooted in the Anabaptist tradition of the 16th century, share a deep commitment to faith, peace, and community. Yet, over time, they've branched out on different paths, each seeking to honor God in their own way (Conover, 1978, pp. 17\u20135; Sampey, 1943, pp. 84\u201386).<\/p>\n<p>One key reason for their divergence lies in their approach to the \"world.\" The Amish, often referred to as \"Old Order,\" believe in maintaining a greater distance from modern society. They emphasize a simple life, characterized by horse-and-buggy transportation, traditional clothing, and limited use of technology (Cooper, 2006, pp. 139\u2013153; Smucker, 2013). This isn't about being backward about creating a close-knit community where faith and family are central, shielded from the distractions and temptations of the modern world. As it says in Romans 12:2, \"Do not conform to the pattern of this world be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\" The Amish seek to live this out by carefully guarding their way of life.<\/p>\n<p>Mennonites, while also valuing community and faith, have generally embraced more engagement with the broader world. They often participate in modern professions, use technology, and engage in mission work and service projects globally (Amstutz, 2013, p. 437). This isn't about compromising their faith about being \"salt and light\" in the world, as Jesus called us to be in Matthew 5:13-16. Mennonites believe they can best serve God by actively participating in society, bringing their values of peace, justice, and compassion to a world in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u0414\u0440\u0443\u0433\u0438\u043c \u0444\u0430\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043c \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f

Both groups, in their own way, strive to honor God and live according to His Word.

The Amish and Mennonites, despite their divisions, have had a fascinating history of mutual influence, shaping each other's identities and beliefs over the centuries (Sampey, 1943, pp. 84\u201386).<\/p>\n<p>Initially, they shared a common Anabaptist heritage, emphasizing believer's baptism, nonviolence, and separation from the world. But as they developed distinct identities, they continued to interact and influence each other in subtle yet major ways. For example, the more progressive Mennonites have at times impacted the more conservative Amish, sometimes causing divisions and the formation of new groups (\u201cA Brief History of Amish Churches in Holmes County, Ohio,\u201d 2019). The Beachy Amish-Mennonites, for instance, emerged from a desire to blend Amish traditions with certain Mennonite practices (\u201cA Brief History of Amish Churches in Holmes County, Ohio,\u201d 2019; Anderson, 2019).

It's like two branches on the same beautiful tree, each growing in its own unique way, reaching for the heavens but with different approaches. The Amish, often seen as the more traditional branch, tend to view technology and modernity with a healthy dose of caution, like the Apostle Paul's advice to \"test everything; hold fast to what is good\" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). They are very careful to ensure that new tools and technologies don't disrupt their close-knit communities, their family values, and their deep faith. They see the potential for technology to create unwanted moral values, and they prioritize maintaining their unique way of life (Kraybill, 1998, pp. 99\u2013110).<\/p>\n<p> The Mennonites, on the other hand, generally adopt a more open approach to modernity. They see technology as a tool that can be used for good, to spread the Gospel, to help others, and to improve lives. It\u2019s like the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), where the servants are expected to use their gifts wisely and productively. Mennonites often engage with modern society, using technology to connect with the wider world while still holding firm to their core beliefs. They believe in being \"in the world but not of it\" (John 17:16), using modern tools to serve God and their neighbors.<\/p>\n<p> Sometimes, this difference in approach can lead to interesting perspectives. The Amish might see the Mennonites as being too quick to embrace the new, potentially losing some of the simplicity and separation that has preserved their faith for generations. Meanwhile, Mennonites might view the Amish as being overly cautious, perhaps missing opportunities to do more good in the world through the use of modern advancements. Yet, there's often a deep respect between them, a recognition that each community is striving to live out their faith in the way they believe is best. It\u2019s like different members of a family, each with their own strengths and approaches united by a common love and heritage.<\/p>\n<h2>\u0421\u0443\u0449\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u044e\u0442 \u043b\u0438 \u0443\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438\u044f \u043f\u043e \u0441\u043e\u0434\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0438\u044e \u0435\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443 \u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0441\u043e\u0442\u0440\u0443\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443 \u043c\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0443 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0430\u043c\u0438?<\/h2>\n<p> Let\u2019s explore the ways these two groups come together, working side-by-side in the spirit of Christian love and unity. Despite their differences, there are efforts to promote unity and cooperation between the Amish and Mennonites. It\u2019s like the early church in Acts, where believers \"devoted themselves to the apostles\u2019 teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer\" (Acts 2:42). They recognize their shared Anabaptist heritage and often collaborate on various initiatives.<\/p>\n<p> One area of cooperation is in providing aid and support during times of crisis. When natural disasters strike, or when communities face hardship, both Amish and Mennonites often come together to offer assistance, embodying the teaching to \"carry each other\u2019s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ\" (Galatians 6:2). This might involve providing food, shelter, or helping with rebuilding efforts, demonstrating their shared commitment to serving others in need.<\/p>\n<p> Another form of cooperation can be seen in mission work and service projects. While their approaches may differ, both groups are often involved in spreading the Gospel and helping those less fortunate. They may support each other\u2019s efforts, sharing resources and expertise to make a greater impact. This reflects the call to \"go and make disciples of all nations\" (Matthew 28:19), working together to share God\u2019s love with the world.<\/p>\n<p> There are individuals and organizations that work to bridge the gap between the Amish and Mennonite communities, fostering understanding and dialogue. These efforts help to break down stereotypes and promote a sense of kinship, reminding them of their common roots and shared values. It\u2019s like the Psalmist's words, \"How good and pleasant it is when God\u2019s people live together in unity!\" (Psalm 133:1). While they may have different paths, their destination is the same: a life of faith, service, and love for God and their fellow human beings.<\/p>\n<h2>\u041a\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044b \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u0432\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430 \u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u044f \u043c\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0435\u0439 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432?<\/h2>\n<p> Let's consider what makes these two communities alike and what sets them apart. Think of it as understanding the nuances within a family, each member with their own personality but sharing a common lineage. The Amish and Mennonites share a common Anabaptist heritage, tracing their roots back to the Radical Reformation in 16th-century Europe. Both groups emphasize the importance of community, simple living, and nonviolence, reflecting the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). They value humility, service, and a strong faith in God.<\/p>\n<p> \u041e\u0434\u043d\u043e \u0438\u0437 \u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u0432\u044b\u0445

Amish communities tend to have a more rigid structure and maintain a strong emphasis on tradition. Mennonite churches often have a more diverse range of practices and beliefs, with some congregations being quite progressive. Despite these differences, both groups share a commitment to living out their faith in practical ways, seeking to follow Jesus\u2019 example of love, service, and compassion. It\u2019s like the Apostle Paul's teaching: \"There are different kinds of gifts the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service the same Lord\" (1 Corinthians 12:4-5). They are united in their core beliefs, even as they express them in unique and beautiful ways.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pps-series-post-details pps-series-post-details-variant-classic pps-series-post-details-67899 pps-series-meta-excerpt\" data-series-id=\"218\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-content\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-text\">\u042d\u0442\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441\u044c \u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u044c\u044e 25 \u0438\u0437 36 \u0432 \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0438 <a href=\"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/learn\/series\/who-are-the-amish\/\">\u041a\u0442\u043e \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0438?<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>\u0418\u0441\u0441\u043b\u0435\u0434\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435 \u0431\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0442\u0443\u044e \u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0438\u044e \u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u044f \u043c\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0430\u043c\u0438\u0448\u0435\u0439 \u0438 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432, \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0447\u0435\u0440\u043a\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044f \u0438\u0445 \u043e\u0431\u0449\u0438\u0435 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043d\u0438 \u0438 \u0443\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0443\u0431\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"series":[218],"class_list":["post-31520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christian-education","series-who-are-the-amish"],"mb":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/api.robolly.com\/templates\/656df2bd6a094828c339896d\/render.jpg?dl&scale=1&image=https%3A%2F%2Fchristianpure.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fblogimg%2Fstained_glass_artwork_radiating_colors_when_sun_pe28ed1_03106.webp&titleBG=%23137300E6&title=Do%20Amish%20and%20Mennonites%20get%20along%3F","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"mfb_rest_fields":["title","jetpack_publicize_connections","jetpack_featured_media_url","jetpack-related-posts","jetpack_sharing_enabled"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/api.robolly.com\/templates\/656df2bd6a094828c339896d\/render.jpg?dl&scale=1&image=https%3A%2F%2Fchristianpure.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fblogimg%2Fstained_glass_artwork_radiating_colors_when_sun_pe28ed1_03106.webp&titleBG=%23137300E6&title=Do%20Amish%20and%20Mennonites%20get%20along%3F","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31520"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianpure.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=31520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
