Pastor Urban and the Sexual Relationships in Knutby
Pastor Urban from Knutby was involved in sexual relationships with female members of the congregation, whom he called his “daughters,” including Maria Waldau. These relationships were justified by Urban as a way to help Åsa Waldau reach Jesus. Urban was convicted in February for sexually exploiting a member of the congregation who was under 18. Maria Waldau reveals that Urban’s actions were seen as part of a spiritual battle for Åsa’s salvation, which involved having sex with multiple women.
Manipulation and Abuse of Power
In text messages, Urban discusses a vision where he was told by God in 2002 that he would have many daughters representing different areas to be conquered spiritually. Maria Waldau was persuaded by Urban to leave her previous husband, Patrik Waldau, believing she belonged to Urban instead. Urban emphasized the secrecy of their relationship to keep Åsa unaware, focusing on her spiritual journey.
Maria Waldau now realizes she did not truly consent to the relationship with Urban and sees his manipulation and abuse of power as a pastor and spiritual leader to exploit vulnerable women in the congregation.
