Summary/Abstract: There is no more urgent job for sociologists of religion than to study protestantization of Roma, since the phenomenon is current and »alive«, still taking place and boiling, it should be encircled before it stops, »dies out« and »stones«, becomes institutionalized and part of the routine. There is no more appreciative job for sociologists of religion than researching protestantization of Roma since the phenomenon is so complex, far reaching and determining that involves in itself everything that Sociology of religion should investigate. They should start with solving the riddle: »What is protestantization of Roma – evangelization, conversion or pure proselytism?« Or maybe a little bit from everything.
