Abstract
In Serbia, minority religious communities are usually seen from one type of minority identity – ethnic one. Thus, the lack of research still exists when it comes to the religious identity of minority communities and the complex relationship between ethnic and religious identity. Based on several years of ethnographic fieldwork among neo-Protestant Romanians in Vojvodina, in this paper I am analyzing ethnic and religious identity of minority communities as double minorities. Starting from the hypothesis that boundaries of ethnic and religious identity are not predefined and static, I analyze narratives collected in four neo-Protestant communities. The case study of Romanian neo-Protestants in this paper indicates what is the role of conversion in ethnic and religious minority communities, but also how religious identity becomes more important in supra-national religious groups.
