The question comes up occasionally of whether Urglaawe has rules about clothing styles, about grooming styles, or about the acquisition of technology. We’ll look at the last item first. Urglaawe is a modern religion in a modern world, and it is also not a religion of compulsion. As such, there are no restrictions on the use of any technology by any Urglaawer.
That lack of compulsion applies to clothing and grooming styles as well. Unlike the Plain sects (Amish, most Mennonite, and some Brethren), there is no restriction on how one dresses. That being said, there are some things to consider.
Some Urglaawer do either dress or groom Plain or semi-Plain. In some cases, this is due to a lifelong interaction with a Plain community, so the styles are familiar and comfortable. Sometimes, an Urglaawer may choose to dress in the traditional styles — whether Plain or Fancy — as a cultural expression in contrast to the dominant culture. In an increasingly large number of cases, some Urglaawer feel a calling to cover their heads or to incorporate elements of older styles (again, either Plain or Fancy) into their lives. Sometimes these elements are utilized only during ritual or at Urglaawe-related events; other times, their response to the calling features these elements being worn in their daily lives. All of these expressions are up to the individual and are fine within the Urglaawe community.
As for dress in ritual space, the host of a given event typically has the right to make requests regarding respectful dress. Some Sippschefde (kindreds) or Freibesitze (freeholds) might set some rules regarding appropriate dress for rituals or events, but none of these has ever been beyond the scope of casual dress that is generally accepted as appropriate.
Thus, the answer to the original question is that, yes, there are some Plain Urglaawer. It is important for all Urglaawe to recognize, though, that no one is required to adopt Plain styles. In fact, even among those that do dress Plain, there is an attempt to differentiate themselves from the standard styles of various sectarian standards. For example, Urglaawe men who choose to have facial hair typically would allow their mustaches to grow so as to contrast with the Plain sectarian prohibitions on mustaches. Thus, even the Urglaawer who dress Plain are establishing an identity that is not to be confused with those of the Christian sects.
The outward expression of one’s religion is often as personal as the inward expression is. All Urglaawer are encouraged to explore their outward expression as they grow in the faith and in the community. Enjoy that time self-discovery and evolution, and dress in the way that is comfortable for you.
