Aspects of Ethnographic Social Network Analysis of Pastors of Calata

Summary/Abstract: In this study I am trying to emphasize the main components of the pastors’ social network, referring to those who serve within the Reformed Church in Calata area. First of all I would like to map the family and kin relationships representing the background of the above-mentioned persons, out of which two thirds are first generation intellectuals. Secondly, I analyze the wide ties of the pastors’ local integration depending on the internalization of the unwritten local rules, formal and informal relationships, and the percep- tion of habits, all of these offering a deeper understanding of these kind of societies. The presence of these “incomers” seem to be a factor of stability in these villages, through the multiple roles and connections they own. Regarding the economic dimension of these leaders’ presence, they are able to obtain financial support for several civil and religious projects. Within the hierarchy of the diocese’s structure, we can find those persons, who, by refusing the isolation of their parish, are ready to serve for the benefit of others.
