The decision to resign was voted through by the congregation, according to multiple reports. A new, provisional board has been appointed to manage the work after the previous leadership left, drawn from outside the congregation, though all elected members needed to become members. In this case, three external pastors and a nationally responsible person are now stepping in instead of the local board of elders and board during a transition period.
None of those responsible in Uppsala Pingst currently want to comment in more detail on what lies behind the confidence crisis in the congregation leadership.

Uppsala Pingst is located in the middle of town in the alley between Clas Ohlson and Dog Bar.
