This paper presents findings from work in progress which sets out to explore the impact of religious belief and cultural identity on volunteering and working with marginalized ethnic populations (in the current example, Roma/Gypsies/Travellers). The small scale study on which this paper is based consists of three phases – a literature review which identifies the scriptural (and associated textual – e.g. Talmudic) basis for social justice action amongst Christians and Jews; an opportunistic survey (administered via the survey - monkey website) of social actors who identify their activities as either ‘faith’ or‘identity’ based (encompassing those who practice a particular faith as well asmembers of ‘socio-ethnic’ groups such as Jews who may be religiously non-practicing but adhere to a set of social justice values inherent in faithteachings) and a small number of depth interviews with activists (e.g. Pastor/Jewish Holocaust survivor/Rabbi) to explore their motivation and key experiences with the communities amongst whom they work; as well as examples of inter - faith engagement around social justice for Gypsies/Travellers/Roma and the challenges respondents face from their ‘own’communities when working with the above groups.
