Research on different religious experiences of immigrants provides an insight into how faith is embodied, lived, and carried across borders, where it may be renegotiated and transformed. In this paper, based on the case study of the community of Nazarene immigrants in the USA, I have introduced the concept of renewal in order to indicate the dynamic of change within this minority religious community. Therefore, the paper represents the initial step in contextualizing the role of migration, dislocation, and change and the correlation of migration and community transformation in the new environment. During the Second World War and the communist era in the countries of South-eastern Europe, many Nazarene believers were strongly persecuted and imprisoned due to their pacifist stance and refusal to take an oath or to vote. Even though their number weakened in the second half of the XX century, the community exists in Serbia, Hungary, Romania, and Croatia. The presented case study is a smal...l contribution that could bring a better understanding of how migration can have an important role in the transformation and later on the renewal of one religious minority community from South-eastern Europe. Seeking a ‘free society’ to escape religious and political oppression, the Nazarenes from Yugoslavia left church buildings, land, and even family members. Migration and escape could be seen as a survival strategy of one alternative religious community in the years of communist rule in Yugoslavia.
