The phenomenon appeared at the beginning of the 20th century in Bulgaria, considerably earlier than many other European countries, with various missionaries working among the Roma, such as Methodists and Baptists among them, as well as later Pentecostals. This book explains the conversion process of men and women from different Romani groups who demonstrate their identity as believers in Jesus Christ and shows how power is transferred from older to younger men and from men to women through mechanisms enabled by evangelism. 410 0$aRoma history and culture ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aFeldforschung 606 $afieldwork 606 $aArchivforschung 606 $aarchival research 606 $aEthnographie 606 $aethnography 606 $aAutorität 606 $aauthority 606 $aweibliche Pastoren 606 $afemale pastors 606 $amännliche Pastoren 606 $amale pastors 606 $areligiöse Mobilisierung 606 $areligious mobilization 615 4$aFeldforschung 615 4$afieldwork 615 4$aArchivforschung 615 4$aarchival research 615 4$aEthnographie 615 4$aethnography 615 4$aAutorität 615 4$aauthority 615 4$aweibliche Pastoren 615 4$afemale pastors 615 4$amännliche Pastoren 615 4$amale pastors 615 4$areligiöse Mobilisierung 615 4$areligious mobilization 676 $a270.82 700 $aSlavkova$b Magdalena$4aut$01791706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910984505703321 996 $aConversion, Leadership and Identity of the Evangelical Roma in Bulgaria$94329440 997 $aUNINA
