Dynamika religijności Romów na Słowacji – droga ku integracji czy wykluczeniu społecznemu?

(Muzeum Okręgowe w Tarnowie, 2011) Podolinská, Tatiana; Hrustič, Tomáš; Słowacka Akademia Nauk

The article presents the results of a research conducted by a group of Slovak researchers in the SIRONA 2010 project. Various spheres of life of Roma people influenced by the activity of registered and unofficial churches, religious groups and communities, have been put under analysis. The analysis, based on the indicators of social integration (WIS), referred to the changes affecting Roma societies subject to religious activity. The quality of social networks within the communities was examined, followed by the interpretation of their pro-integrative (pro-inclusive) or pro-exclusive potential.

Romski Kościół w Ameryce Południowej. Czy Kościół pentekostalny wypełnił kulturowe braki w romskiej społeczności Ameryki Południowej?

(Muzeum Okręgowe w Tarnowie, 2011) Bernal, Jorge M. F.

Romani culture in the 70’s mostly was declining its influence upon many Romani families all over the world, modernism, and the acceptance of new cultural patterns coming from the main society, were weakening our oral traditions. At that time in France, a gadjo Pastor Clement Lecossec (may his soul rest in peace!), approached the Romani people in Paris with a new message, that of the Evangelism, some Roma from Paris, in 1961 took that message of Salvation and accepted the Word of God, Lulu Demeter, Stevo, and later Nono, Lulu was the first pastor of that new movement and church, once the first Romani Church in Paris was open, later on, in the last century, during the 60’s and 70’s they took this message to the United States and South America. Currently, in Argentina, our people were settled in the major cities of our country. At the beginning of their arrival they were Orthodox, later becoming Catholic, and from then on have been participating in this Powerful Evangelical Movement? This article tries to make a racconto about the International Romani Church in a global context, but mainly in the Americas, from its beginnings in Europe, its evolution and its dispersion over the American continent, from the 60’s onwards, the last century, among the Romani communities which came to the Americas from Europe, around 1880 onwards, mostly from Russia, Serbia and Greece, and also makes us a small description of them, their groups and background. He tells us about the Pastors who were able to make this movement grow among the various Romani communities, and how this movement currently articulates itself and how creates contacts among the different Romani Communities, later on he talks about the positive impact this movement has worldwide on the standardization of the Romani language, not only among the Vlax Roma, but also among the Roma of other Romani groups where the church is growing extraordinarily, most of the time under the influence of the Vlax Pastors, he also talks about the positive effect on the group’s cohesion. This article was also presented in Sweden, as a lecture, in November 2009, and will be released soon along with other articles written by other authors from different countries in a book that will group all the opinions about this Worldwide Growing Evangelical Movement.

(Muzeum Okręgowe w Tarnowie, 2011) Charchuła, Jarosław

The article discusses the question of transformations in Roma religiousness in Poland in the last decades. By means of the theoretical fundamentals of religion sociology, an attempt has been made to point out the most important types of definitions used by the social sciences, and to characterize the main concepts relating to religion itself, such as exemplified by the classics of the discipline. Additionally, an analysis of the characteristic changes in the structure of Roma society has been conducted. The aim of such considerations was to define the level of the Roma autonomy inrelation to the going-on transformations within their whole society. As a result, the most important problems related to the topic have been pointed out, along with suggested solutions.

Mre Dewłeske gilawaw me. Muzyka i tożsamość Cyganów w ruchu zielonoświątkowym

(Muzeum Okręgowe w Tarnowie, 2011) Janowiak-Janik, Monika; Uniwersytet Wrocławski

The article refers to the conversion of Gypsies in Pentecostal societies. Since the day French pastor Clement Le Cossec converted the Manush Gypsies in the 1950s, the Pentecostal movement has gained popularity among Roma in Europe and both Americas. The most appealing Pentecostal idea for the Gypsies is the necessity to overcome ethnic barriers. Converted Roma people gain the opportunity to become members of society without being labeled as outcasts, or pushed away as a result of ethnic bias. Polish peculiarity of the problem has been shown on the example of a Gypsy community in Bystrzyca Kłodzka, made up of Carpathian Gypsies. The author describes the community through Gypsy religious music, a means of expressing their religious and ethnic identity through unique musical instruments, style and performance.
