Yup,you're right. It's all up to the local Bishop. They're the highest authority in the church. There's no hierarchy. No Amish Pope. If the local Bishop decided they could drive cars,there's no authority above him to tell them they can't. I know of one Amish sect here that can use chainsaws,air compressors,air tools,pretty much anything power driven. Another group on the other side of town can't use any of it.
