The expansion of Protestant teaching among Roma in south-eastern Serbia, intensified during the last decade and a half, has initiated the process of reshaping their collective identity. Accordingly, customary components of Rromanipe are being re-conceptualized and adapted. Traditional self-identification, as belonging to a unified and homogeneous ethnic group, has evolved to include new religious and cultural identity incorporating proclaimed values of religious communities they belong to nowadays. Primary distinction of us Roma versus them Gadže has been transformed into us believers versus them, non-believers. With this change purity of blood became irrelevant and replaced with purity in Christ norm when choosing a partner – preferred choice of partner exclusively founded on the endogamous, ethnic principle, is substituted with a choice relying on confessional base, leading to a richer ethnic variety.
