Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to analyse the influence of Evangelism among the Turkish Gypsies in Bulgaria. The Turkish Gypsies are not a homogeneous community and have intricate identity, differentiated at various levels (owing to the watering down of the borderlines of the individual groups) and with different orientation (to the Gypsy or to the Turkish ethnic community, respectively). Four types of groups of the Turkish Gypsies can be defined on the basis of language used, identity and religion (in the past and today). Depending on that division, the paper analyses the influence of evangelism in every one of the four types. Two trends have been considered, determined by Evangelism: the development of the Gypsy/Roma identity and preservation of the Turkish self-consciousness.
