Sažetak
Today in Croatia and Serbia, the Serbian Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant churches have little interaction with nearby Roma villages.On the surface, it appears that God’s mission in eastern Europe takes place in two separate spheres: the Roma and the rest. And yet, what if God’s activity in the margins of society could be dynamically linked with the center of society? Could a Roma village being transformed under the power of the Gospel have any impact on the historic separation between the majority culture and the Roma? If, as many have said, God’s self-revelation often manifests itself in the margins, then God’s activity among the Roma may not be just for the Roma but may also have the potential to bless the dominant culture and become the vehicle of healing and peace between the two.
