Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The Roma are people characterized by a mosaic of cultures, languages, and identities, often misunderstood or ignored. Numerous revivals have occurred among Roma communities across the European continent since the 1950s, characterised by healings, radical transformations, and rapid growth of mission movements that expanded through familial and migratory patterns. These evangelical movements — which are largely although not exclusively Pentecostal — are a unique sociological and spiritual phenomenon in the European landscape. This article takes the position that Roma groups are both distinct and diverse ethnic minorities but are also an intrinsic part of the European peoples. This cultural, geographic, and identity agility is certainly an asset when it comes to mission in Europe — in an age of rising nationalism, the growth of conversions among the Roma forms a Christian identity not associated with a national identity.
