| Resumo: | No studies have been conducted on persons who have sought to be ordained to the ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland but who have not succeeded. It is unknown whether dropped ordinations are a result of withdrawn requests or outright rejection. The role of psychological assessment in the process is also unclear. The paper presents a pilot study of 13 recent cases of dropped ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. A mixed method analysis identified three types of dropped ordination. Statistical comparisons indicated no differences between the 13 cases and ordained persons. This exploratory study provides new information on why and how dropped ordination takes place, and to whom it happens. It also presents an example of how a mixed method approach can be used to extract information in cases where purely qualitative or quantitative methods are insufficient. Bisher lagen keine Studien zu Pfarramtskandidaten der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche Finnlands vor, die um die Ordination ersucht haben, letztlich aber nicht ordiniert wurden. Es war unbekannt, ob der Abbruch der Verfahren wegen Ablehnung des Ordinationsbegehrens oder auf den Wunsch der Kandidaten hin geschah. Auch der Einfluss der psychologischen Untersuchung auf die Ordinationsverfahren war ungeklärt. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie zu 13 aufgehobenen Ordinationsverfahren in der ev.-luth. Kirche Finnlands. In einem methodischen Mischverfahren wurden neue Kenntnisse über verschiedene Typen des Verfahrensstops und den betroffenen Personen gewonnen sowie die Eignung des „mixed method“ Zugangs für diese und verwandte Themenstellungen erwiesen. |
