Abstract
It is in the nature of religious and faith groups to spread and grow stronger. Without this they are in danger of stagnation or faced with an even worse outcome, declining and dying out. Apart from all the hardship it has had in the last century, Orthodox faith has been faced with the influx of protestantisation of the population inhabiting traditionally Orthodox areas. Protestant denomination is especially appealing to the so called national minorities. In Serbia, especially in the south where the spreading of four Protestant denominations – Baptist, Adventist, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Pentecostal has gained momentum – the Roma are the desired target of missionary work, conversion and proselytism. If the Protestant communities are aiming at this target, why aren’t the Orthodox ones doing the same? We shall attempt to determine this by analyzing the interviews with three Orthodox priests and several Protestant Roma.
