For ca 15 \u00e5r siden (mens jeg var luthersk prest i Arendal) var jeg aktiv i en st\u00f8ttegruppe for avhoppere fra trosbevegelsen, og hadde n\u00e6r kontakt med ‘avhoppere’ b\u00e5de fra norske og svenske trosmenigheter. De hadde en sv\u00e6rt stor skepsis til trosbevegelsens ledere og hadde blitt alvorlig s\u00e5ret av det de hadde opplevd i dette milj\u00f8et. Derfor vil de sikkert ikke s\u00e5 lett som meg glede seg over (eller ha tillit til) normaliseringen (og avradikaliseringen) som n\u00e5 skjer i stadig flere trosmenigheter.<\/p>\n
I dag leste jeg et intervju i svenske Dagen med Birgitta Ekman, Ulf Ekmans kone, der hun bl.a. sier positive ting ogs\u00e5 om Den katolske kirke. Her er avslutningen av intervjuet:<\/p>\n
Ni n\u00e4rmar er andra kyrkor nu?<\/p>\n
– Absolut. Det \u00e4r Livets Ords nya fas. Vi har f\u00e5tt m\u00e5nga nya v\u00e4nner bland pr\u00e4ster. Och samtal p\u00e5g\u00e5r \u00e4ven med v\u00e5ra katolska v\u00e4nner. Jag blev s\u00e5 glad n\u00e4r jag nyligen l\u00e4ste en bok om katolsk teologi och ins\u00e5g att vi verkligen har s\u00e5 liknande syn p\u00e5 vad som \u00e4r kristendomens grundbultar.<\/p>\n
Det blixtrar i silverkorset, trots att solen \u00e4r inb\u00e4ddad i molnens fetvadd. Birgitta Ekman \u00e4r van vid kritik det m\u00e4rks. Men samtidigt tycks h\u00e4r finnas en djup \u00f6nskan att bli f\u00f6rst\u00e5dd, respekterad och accepterad. Utanf\u00f6rskapet passar henne illa. Precis som sin man \u00e4r hon i grunden social, \u00f6ppen och nyfiken.<\/p>\n
Har du n\u00e5got bra r\u00e5d till hur tv\u00e5 m\u00e4nniskor klarar att h\u00e5lla ihop i 30 \u00e5r?<\/p>\n
– Jag tror p\u00e5 k\u00e4rlek mer \u00e4n k\u00e4nsla. P\u00e5 att man tar ett beslut, g\u00f6r en \u00f6verl\u00e5telse, helt enkelt. Beslutar sig f\u00f6r att vara trofast.<\/p>\n
Vad g\u00f6r ni av era fajter d\u00e5?<\/p>\n
– Vi fajtas nog inte s\u00e5 mycket. Vi \u00e4r b\u00e5da verbala, bra p\u00e5 att argumentera. Men vi skriker aldrig. Det \u00e4r en f\u00f6rm\u00e5n att kunna be tillsammans om f\u00f6rl\u00e5telse om man har varit knasig. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
