[edit] About Me

My name is Leonardo Marcondes Alves, wandered in so many majors...in Psychology, Letras (Linguistic/Literature) and ultimately in Anthropology.

I am interested in Ethnic Pentecostal Movements, specially in the Italian Pentecostal Movement, and I am making a research on this subject.

[edit] Interests

My interests are very broad, for instance, some of my favorite topics:

• Bible
• Anthropology
• Languages & Linguistics, Writing Systems
• Immigration issues,
• Utopia & Dystopia
• World Literature
• Political Oddities
• Conservative Christianity (Anabaptist, Brethren, Amish, Mennonite, Apostolic Christian Church, Exclusive and Open Brethren, Slavic Evangelicals, Armenian Evangelicals, Assyrian Evangelicals, Primitive Baptists, etc)
• Unique ethnic groups and cultures like the Miskitos, Vlach, Gypsies etc

[edit] Languages

I speak English, Portuguese, Italian and I can handle some French, Spanish, Brasilianhunsrückisch German, Hebrew and Koine Greek.
