Cultural Compatibility and Ethno-Genesis David Thurfjell In the 1950s, a Breton minister named Clement le Cossec founded a small congregation in Paris with the explicit ambition of making Roma convert to Pentecostal Christianity. He called the congregation Mission Évan- gelique des Tziganes et des Forains de France (Elin Pernilla Strand 2001: 32) , and the first to convert were local Roma of the so-called Manouche group (Thomas A. Acton 1979: 293; Angus Fraser 1992: 313; Matéo Maximoff 1965: 152) . This event marked the beginning of a revivalist movement that has redrawn the religious map of European Roma since then. In the mid-1990s, 40 years after the first conversions, 500,000 European Roma were baptized in the Holy Spirit and 4600 had been trained as preachers (Sue Locke 1997: 21) . Today the movement is much bigger.
