Profetkallsforståelsen i Bedehusland
type: item
description: In January 2024, the podcast “Misjonærbarna” by and with Øystein Stene was published on Fabel, and the understanding of the missionary calling in the Norwegian lay and mission movement once again became the subject of critical attention. This article contributes to shedding further light on the understanding of the missionary calling in the Norwegian lay and mission movement between 1945 and around the turn of the millennium. The article’s starting point is the tradition in this movement of using prophetic call stories and texts about the missionary calling, thus allowing the prophetic call to serve as a model for the missionary calling. Against this background, an important question arises: What kind of understanding of the prophetic call was provided as a model for the missionary calling? In this article, I attempt to answer this question by examining the understanding of the prophetic call as expressed in the reception of prophetic call stories and texts in a selection of relevant books published by Lunde, Luther, and other similar publishers during the specified period. My findings indicate an understanding of the calling where the experience of the call plays a crucial role and where this experience is also understood to have a very specific character. Central elements include the experience of compulsion, the struggle of the call, and the impossibility of saying “no.”

Kirker, klima og globalt perspektiv
type: item
description: Is it possible to identify specific contributions from churches to climate adaption. This article argues that the contribution of churches is visible in several venues, but has a special character related to hope and identity. It is a contribution that gains impetus through a global perspective, because it allows for a participatory etos, which not only focuses on activity, but in special manner comes to the fore where churches allow themselves to the transformed in light of the community of creation and the presence of Christ incarnated.

Debating the Norwegian Mission to the Homeless
type: item
description: Established in 1897, the Norwegian Mission to the Homeless (Norsk Misjon blant Hjemløse) was for nearly a century a domestic Christian endeavour conducted in tandem with social welfare agencies in Norway to reach and assimilate members of the itinerant tater or Romani ethnic group, which they perceived as rife with social problems. However, its methods of social control, which included the forced placement of the o!spring of tatere in children’s homes, involuntary sterilisation, and in some cases lobotomies, eventually became the targets of strident criticism. The present article views this domestic mission primarily through the lens of a member of a tater family, Kristian Bredesen, who with his brother was removed from their parents’ custody in the 1920s, placed into a children’s home, and eventually became a teacher and superintendent of schools. His novel Taterblod, which to a great degree is a fictionalised account of his family of origin, does not paper over the dark side of the mission’s policies, but his criticism of this is tempered by his argument that for all its faults Norwegian Mission to the Homeless merits acknowledgment for rescuing many children from dire social circumstances in dysfunctional families that in many cases were involved in chronic criminal activities and su!ering from the consequences of alcoholism.

Kristen musikk som debatt-tema i det lavkirkelige bedehus-Norge i perioden 1970–2010
type: item
description: The author of this article describes the discussions about the use of music within the Lutheran low-church movements in Norway from approximately 1970 to 2010. The right-wing side in these discussions had a so-called spirit-dogmatically rooted view. !ey argued that music is not spiritually neutral. Christians must warn against “modern music”. Their ideals were composers from times when music was made for Soli Deo Gloria - especially composers such as J. S. Bach. Other leaders – at various levels – had a more open view. !ey primarily saw music as an expression of gifts given by the Creator. !ey emphasised that we must be sensitive to various cultural changes and to people’s feelings and traditions. However, music must not be used in a provocative way. We must consider how people in the congregations experience the music. !e author also discusses the content of the lyrics in newer hymns and songs. His main point is that the biblical basis in the lyrics is more important than ever, and he looks forward to further discussions where the message of Christian songs is more in focus.

Inhibiting Missions to Chinese Immigrants in California before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882
type: item
description: Scholarly analysis of hostility to Chinese immigrants in the United States of America began well over a century ago but has advanced on an uneven front. Little of a scholarly nature has been published about speci!cally Christian involvement in the conflicting efforts to evangelise these newcomers and halt their further immigration. The present article takes steps towards !lling that lacuna. It discusses efforts by various Protestant denominations and, subsequently, the Roman Catholic Church to evangelise and conduct educational ministries among the Chinese in California, especially in and near San Francisco during a period of ascending public hostility to those immigrants which led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The primary focus is on the Methodist pastor Otis Gibson and Archbishop José Sadoc Alemany as key promoters of such missionary endeavours who incurred the wrath of many other churchmen in their own and other denominations. It will be argued that both enthusiasm for missions to Chinese in California and criticism of those e#orts as futile could be found in Protestant denominations and in the San Francisco Archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church.
