  Abstract:  The object of this research, carried out during my stay in France as an Erasmus Anthropology student, is to question an identity issue. How does a secular state (i.e. France) influence the way in which the members of a multi-ethnic community see themselves ? Which identity comes first : the religious one (orthodox) or the national one (as foreigner, immigrant or native) ? To what extent does the organisation of the church as cult and as administration influence the perception of the participants as « self » and towards the others ?An important detail to be mentioned is the fact that this is only the second part of the research, the ethnological viewpoint, following the ethnographical one, that has been left aside due to space and time restrictions and to its degree of familiarity to the Romanian reader.
The items that have been chosen to insist upon are the personal conclusions and the potential of this research - to be continued as means of showing an alternative way to deal with the inclusion and apeasement issues in an multi-ethnic community at a moment when religious issues are tabu.

Key-words: integration, immigration, intussusception, mimo-dramatism, fieldwork
