A short film about the Gypsy church at Salvation Place. The Reverend Tom Wilson talks about his life and discusses why Gypsies have their own church. An eloquent and emotive insight into the impact of Christianity on both a personal level and on Gypsy-Roma culture.

  • I am gorgio (is that how you write it?!) who met the Christian Gypsies from Leatherhead at an event in Ewell a couple of years back. I went to their church that Sunday. Amazing experience - kind of different from my own church in style, but people were so kind and made me feel so very welcome. It was lovely. God bless you folks!

  • God bless you!

    

  • God bless the traveller people
