Page "Tenggerese" Paragraph 8

Both Muslim and Christian missionaries have attempted to convert the Tenggerese.

However, the Christians had little success ; they only managed to convert a few hundred to Christianity.

Even so, due to the negligible number of them, most of them either reverted back to Hinduism or converted to Islam.

The Tenggerese Muslims have a more successful conversion, though they frequently mix original Hindu-Buddhist ideas and spirits to their Islam and celebrate Tenggerese festivals at the same time.
