Summary/Abstract: In this paper I will present the process of representing concepts of the self withing the Adventist Romani community from Eted (Atid, Romania). I especially draw attention to the religious and ethnic aspects of these self-representations. My questions are closely related to the attitude of the Romani community towards their own tradition and culture, more specifically, to what motivated them to convert and how this fact affects their self-image and lifestyle.
