Based on the analysis of archival material, and combined with ethnographic fieldwork conducted among the Finnish Kaale (the Finnish Romani population) since 2011, this article looks at the historical intertwining of Roma religious and social activism in Finland from the beginning of the 20th century. A focus is placed on the role of the Gypsy Mission (Mustalaislahetys), nowadays Romani Mission (Romano Missio), in shaping both historical and present-day Roma policy, activism and mobilisation within the country. Founded in 1906, and initially led by non-Roma Evangelicals, its impact has nevertheless moved beyond a strictly Roma-focused/non-Roma-led mission. While rarely mentioned, Kaale were active participants within the organisation, and some of the earliest Roma activists were shaped within its midst. Furthermore, Roma mobilisation in the country continues to have a religious undertone, particularly in the contemporary transnational humanitarian work conducted by Finnish Kaale missionaries among Roma communities in Eastern Europe. Tracing the legacy of present-day religious mobilisation among Roma in Finland, as well as Finnish Roma’s active involvement in shaping Roma-projects elsewhere in Europe, is therefore crucial in revealing not only contrasts in how Roma activism may have manifested during the interwar period in Europe (from political to religious, from Roma-led to Roma-focused) but points to the present-day influence of Evangelical missions in shaping particular visions of the ‘future’ among Roma communities across Europe.

从基督教传教到跨国联系:芬兰罗姆人之间的宗教和社会动员

在对档案资料进行分析的基础上,结合2011年以来在芬兰Kaale(芬兰罗马人)中进行的人种志田野调查,本文考察了20世纪初以来芬兰罗姆人宗教与社会活动主义的历史交织。重点放在吉普赛特派团(Mustalaislahetys),现今的罗马尼特派团(Romano Missio)在塑造该国历史和当今的罗姆人政策,行动主义和动员方面的作用上。它成立于1906年,最初由非罗姆福音派人士领导,但其影响已经超越了严格以罗姆人为中心/由非罗姆人领导的使命。尽管很少提及,但Kaale是该组织的积极参与者,而一些最早的罗姆活动家则是在该组织的中间形成的。此外,在该国动员罗姆人仍然具有宗教色彩,特别是在芬兰的卡莱传教士在东欧罗姆人社区中开展的当代跨国人道主义工作中。因此,追寻当今芬兰罗姆人宗教动员的遗产,以及芬兰罗姆人积极参与欧洲其他地方的罗姆人项目的塑造,对于揭示不仅是在两次世界大战期间罗姆人行动主义可能表现出的差异方面至关重要的关键。欧洲(从政治到宗教,从以罗姆人为主导,再到以罗姆人为中心),但指出了福音派传教士团如今在塑造整个欧洲罗姆人社区的“未来”愿景方面的影响。特别是芬兰Kaale传教士在东欧罗姆人社区开展的当代跨国人道主义工作中。因此,追寻当今芬兰罗姆人宗教动员的遗产,以及芬兰罗姆人积极参与欧洲其他地方的罗姆人项目的塑造,对于揭示不仅是在两次世界大战期间罗姆人行动主义可能表现出的差异方面至关重要的关键。欧洲(从政治到宗教,从以罗姆人为主导,再到以罗姆人为中心),但指出了福音派传教士团如今在塑造整个欧洲罗姆人社区的“未来”愿景方面的影响。特别是芬兰Kaale传教士在东欧罗姆人社区开展的当代跨国人道主义工作中。因此,追寻当今芬兰罗姆人宗教动员的遗产,以及芬兰罗姆人积极参与欧洲其他地方的罗姆人项目的塑造,对于揭示不仅是在两次世界大战期间罗姆人行动主义可能表现出的差异方面至关重要的关键。欧洲(从政治到宗教,从以罗姆人为主导,再到以罗姆人为中心),但指出了福音派传教士团如今在塑造整个欧洲罗姆人社区的“未来”愿景方面的影响。
