ENDNOTES

1. It is interesting to note that many of the evangelical groups active in Colombo, and Nuwara Eliya seem to attract a large number of ethnic Tamils as followers and as officials. I do not have adequate statistics to press this point while this aspect has also not been investigated in detail in the present study.But it seems to me that this is not merely a situation arising out of specific demographic peculiarities oflocalities where evangelical groups operate. Interestingly, a large number ofTamil refugees currently living in London also show a tendency to get attracted to evangelical groups. Some local pastors often visit these London congregations on ‘lecture visits.’ Perhaps the nature of the displacement of Tamil people over the lastdecade due to conditions of war may explain this situation to some extent.
