Svensson did what she believed was God’s wish and shot both the targeted victims. Alexandra died, but Linde, although seriously wounded, survived the attack. Svensson confessed and was sentenced to institutional psychiatric care; Fossmo was sentenced to life imprisonment for instigated murder and an instigated murder attempt. This gruesome story provides a backdrop to Dr Sanja Nilsson’s research, but her focus is on the situation as it subsequently developed – according to the children’s “performances” at different stages. Knutby Filadelphia had enjoyed relatively unremarkable beginnings. Founded in 1921 as a Pentecostal congregation with about 15 members, it had become an Autonomous Swedish Pentecostal Congregation, with charismatic leanings, when a young woman, Åsa Waldau, joined the congregation in 1992. Five years later, Helge Fossmo and his first wife, Helen (who was to die in suspicious circumstances), came to Knutby, and within two years Fossmo was the congregation’s pastor, with Waldau playing an important role in guiding the spiritual and secular life of the congregation, and considered by the inner core to be the Bride of Christ. Following the events of 2004, Knutby Filadelphia was excluded from the Pentecostal Alliance of Independent Churches and became increasingly stigmatised and isolated in the face of intense media interest, for whom a bad story is a good story– particularly one that combines sex, murder and religion. Towards the end of 2008, Åsa Waldau ‘withdrew’ from interactions with all but a chosen few, but continued to wield considerable power over the lives of the congregation. Then, in 2016, to the shock of the congregation, Waldau divorced her","PeriodicalId":43193,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Religion and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46131959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What are the similarities and differences between managers’ understanding of their work as a calling in these two types of organisation? How do they negotiate calling in their work? We use interview data from nine middle managers in a faithbased hospital and nine deans in the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Norway. The article builds on cross-disciplinary literature on calling in working life. We theorise, by using comparisons, how notions of calling are resources for managers when they negotiate identity. Our findings show that the hospital managers respond to the modern meaningmaking calling as emanating from within and outside, while the deans also experience the traditional religious calling from above. Such notions blend in our conceptualisation of calling as pluralistic, biographical and present-oriented. Both categories of managers report that their transition into management is guided by an orientation to serve and to promote organisational mission and values.","PeriodicalId":43193,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Religion and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47954490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
