| Summary | "Presten som ikke kunde brukes" by Carl E. Nordberg is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life and challenges faced by Pastor Reierson, who has devoted ten years to the Glenfield congregation but finds himself increasingly marginalized and underappreciated in the face of newer, dynamic leaders and changing community expectations. Central themes include the value of faith, the trials of pastoral duty, and a critique of congregational politics, showcasing the contrast between the dedicated work of the older pastor and the growing preference for younger, more charismatic figures. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Pastor Reierson, who, although not old, is experiencing pressure from the community to resign due to the rise of a younger, more popular pastor named Carl Johnson. The opening chapter details the dynamics within the Glenfield congregation, highlighting the gossip and criticism surrounding Reierson while depicting the loyalty he has fostered over the years. As the story unfolds, the reader witnesses Reierson's internal struggles with self-worth and belonging amid the changing tides of church leadership. The voices of the congregation, especially the contrasting opinions on past and current leadership, provide a rich backdrop for exploring themes of community and spirituality.
