Light and Life explained

Light and Life is a Romani-led evangelical (Pentecostal) Christian movement that claims "up to 40% of British Gypsies" are part of it.^[1] Adherents pray for the sick, do not drink alcohol, or engage in fortune-telling, instead taking part in Charismatic prayer (including speaking in tongues).^[2]

The movement's founders include Jackie Boyd, a Romani Gypsy.^[3]

As of December 2015, Light and Life has 33 churches and 20,000 followers.^[4]
