A few months ago, while setting up the premises for designing the model for exploration, analysis and explanation of the phenomenon of Roma protestantization , we took the following standing: “No more urgent task is there for the sociologists of religion than to study Romas' protestantization since this phenomenon is taking place just now and it is dynamic, in expansion and in turbulence; therefore, it should be studied before it stops, 'deadens' and 'petrifies', that is, before it becomes institutionalized and routine. There is no more fruitful task for the sociologists of religion than to study Romas’ protestantization since this phenomenon is so complex and imbued with different meanings, so far-reaching and decisive, that it com-prises in itself all that the sociology of religion should deal with”. Aware of possible simplification, we introduced, for this occasion, the phrase Roma protestantization into the domestic sociology of religion and Romology with the purpose to explain, in a simple way, a more recent process of Romas’ entering small religious communities of Protestant affiliation. Here we would like to stress that the coined phrase is sufficiently appropriate for the occasion and that there is no point in wasting time on conceiving of some other. Now we are going to try to solve the riddle: “What is Romas’ protestantization – is it evangelization, conversion or proselytism?” Or is it the sum of all these phenomena, up to a point?
