Being consecrated to social work : A qualitative interview study on the ordination services significance with deacons in the Church of Sweden (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilken betydelse det kan ha för diakoner i Svenska kyrkan att vara vigd åt sitt uppdrag. Inom ramen för studien genomfördes nio kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med diakoner från fem olika församlingar i Stockholms stift. Materialet bearbetades i hermeneutisk tradition och analyserades utifrån teorin om rollövergångar. Studien pekar på att vigningen innebär en identitet som medför en känsla av mening, kontroll och tillhörighet. Denna identitet genomsyrar inte bara diakonens sociala arbete utan diakonens hela liv. Vigningen kräver att diakonen lever ett integrerat liv, vilket innebär samstämmighet mellan vem man är på arbetet och vem man utanför arbetet, och för med sig förväntningar från olika håll som diakonen måste förhålla sig till. Studien pekar också på en ambivalens hos intervjupersonerna; samtidigt som diakonrollen genomsyrar diakonens hela liv måste diakonen sätta upp gränser av olika slag för att kunna kliva ur sitt arbete.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to examine what significance it may have for deacons within the Church of Sweden to be consecrated to their mission. Within the framework of the study, nine qualitative research interviews were conducted with deacons from five different parishes in the Stockholm diocese. The material was processed in hermeneutical tradition and analysed based on the theory of role transitions. The study indicates that the ordination implies an identity that brings a sense of meaning, control and belonging. This identity permeates not only the deacon's social work but the deacon's entire life. The ordination requires that the deacon lives an integrated life, which means coherence between who one is at work and who one is off work, and brings with it expectations from different directions that the deacon must relate to. The study also indicates an ambivalence among the interviewees; while the role of the deacon permeates the deacon's entire life, the deacon must set boundaries of various kinds in order to be able to step out of her or his work.
