| Summary: | How do ministers in the Church of Norway experience their role in the Christian education reform for children and youth aged 0-18? In the following, we explore this question from the perspective of the tension between constitutive and strategic expectations. The focus is on ministers' intentions and experiences. The article draws on data material from interviews with ministers in 2014-15 and in 2019, and discusses the findings from the perspective of role theory. The ministers experience tensions and negotiate their roles. They intend to continue their contribution and see the Sunday services with children and youth as a "diamond" in the Christian education, but they insist on emphasising constitutive elements in the understanding of their role. We suggest that more attention should be given to clarify expectations regarding minister's contribution and how the professional identity of ministers influence the cooperation with others. Moreover, to clarify how increased time spent on work relations influence the ministers' other responsibilities and how role conflict and conflictual expectations can be handled in church services where children and youth take part. |
