Abstract

This chapter surveys the spiritual and religious life of the Roma, and describes Roma religious attitudes. It analyses the notions of God and sanctity, and the Roma’s understanding of these concepts. It examines Roma attitudes towards religion within the context of their identity. It summarizes the activities of individual churches and religious organizations among the Roma in Slovakia, and notes the great, but hitherto unused influence that the church and religion could have on the Roma. It ends by assessing the influence of the missionary and pastoral work that has been done by religious organizations.
