Dear bishops and pastors
Den sag jeg her vil henlede Deres opmærksomhed på, handler om sognepræst Jonas Serner-Pedersen, Hjerm, som har udsat Daniela Skov og undertegnede for et polititilhold, hvilket vi føler, er fuldstændig uberettiget.
The case here I would draw your attention to, is about Vicar Jonas Serner-Pedersen, Hjerm, which has exposed Daniela Skov and I for a restraining order, which we feel is completely unjustified.
Can it be true that the Public Prosecutor may impose us that we cannot get free of the restraining order from Jonas Serner-Pedersen? We got no help from the start and at the court in Holstebro, we were told that we should have been in the district court. We were in shock and nobody would listen to us. We just got to know that we should stop being so negative and hateful. We lost our legal certainty, as the police officer who called Daniela up did not intend to stand by his identity. Do cops not have a duty to take notes? How can a cop that does not exist, start up a case against us?
Can it really be true that Denmark should have a case of church and state (police) who collides with an American citizen's life and rights? He has house and home, and want to completely 100% to have Daniela home as his wife. We do not want as much as half a year more being tied in Denmark because of Jonas Serner-Pedersen. And we doeverything we can, even for Daniela's American sweetheart.
It must be said that I know the case is decided by the Public Prosecutor, and the decision is final. We brought new evidence that justified the reopening of the case from the Public Prosecutor, but she estimated that they could not alter her decision that the restraining order was justified and should be maintained.
The case is in brief the that Daniela Skov and I had, we felt, good contact with Jonas Serner-Pedersen, when he was a pastor at Kolding Valgmenighed. He was fired from here in the spring of 2012 due to difficult relations with management of Kolding Valgmenighed, and after that he by his own admission to Daniela had been bullied through 1 ½ years of more members.
After a short time he stopped responding to inquiries from Daniela, with whom he had had a lot of cooperation. Daniela approached him by e-mail, sms, messages on hisvoice mail, and in two cases of in person. Approaches which he never answered. Later we learned that he shortly after his firing was hired as pastor of Hjerm parish. But he was still pastor in relation to the previous church, a pastor should behave professionally and answer inquiries.
We wondered what the reason was for his silence, why Daniela continued to appeal to him to respond. To help her, I also addressed him through the same channels.
During the summer of 2012 it became clear to Daniela that she was going to Bradford, England on a leadership course, and I would settle in London. For this purpose we should use the recommendations or introduction papers which we asked Jonas write to us since we not come in any other church. Also asked Daniela him to write a paper in which he confirmed that Daniela was resigned by Kolding Valgmenighed.
August 15, 2012 were Jonas Serner-Pedersen to bury Daniela's friend. While the coffin was carried out he came and gave Daniela a big embrace, and indicated in no waythat he had started an "I do not know you - project". One month later, in September, I suggested that we drove up to Jonas and talked with him. The result was that DanielaSeptember 19 was called by a police officer who spoke very harsh to her and said that she was charged, and she would get a restraining order because she had disturbedJonas Serner-Pedersen's peace. That officer has not made himself known after we tried to get to know who it was who had called Daniela up.
Police Complaints Authority dealt with the case, and the result was that he was not to be found, and it had to be Daniela, who spoke untrue.
Daniela was asked if she would speak further to police. She would, but she said she had to have company of another person. In the restraining order which was served onher, it said that she had not wanted to talk to the police. The same was in the restraining order, I have since got, and I do not recall being asked if I would speak to the police.
We complained to the Public Prosecutor of the police decision, but she upheld the decision. During the hearing June 13, 2013, where fines we had because we had contactedJonas in the restraining order, was taken to judgment, we were told that we could have brought this issue to the district court, but we were not aware of that. So all in all, we have lost two opportunities to comment on our view of the case.
We have lost our legal certainty because the officer has not come forward, and by that we have not been given the opportunity to comment on the case.
Later we complained to the police about the decision, as we brought new information. The complaint gave no reason for the police to take up the case. That is why we went ahead with the complaint to the Public Prosecutor, who gave the police the right, nor took up the case.
Letter to police with new information (originally dated 08.10.2013)
The complaint to the Public Prosecutor
Now we stand with a criminal record because of a vicar’s failure to perform duties that belong to his office (within a reasonable time to answer inquiries and write two papers). We are in the absurd situation that we were in when the restraining order was granted that we are waiting to get out of the country, and definitely do not want tohave any contact with Jonas Serner-Pedersen at all. The only reason that we turned to him countless times, was his silence and we asked him to write the two papers to us.
Daniela would now like to go to the U.S., but probably will not get a visa because she does not have a clean criminal record.
Can it be true that the Public Prosecutor may impose us that we cannot get free of the restraining order from Jonas Serner-Pedersen? We got no help from the start and at the court in Holstebro, we were told that we should have been in the district court. We were in shock and nobody would listen to us. We just got to know that we should stop being so negative and hateful. We lost our legal certainty, as the police officer who called Daniela up did not intend to stand by his identity. Do cops not have a duty to take notes? How can a cop that does not exist, start up a case against us?
Can it really be true that a pastor can get away with remaining completely silent in relation to people’s attempt to contact him and completely ignore to perform a desiredtask?
In the oath proclaimed by new pastors it is said
"Finally: I will strive, by diligent and serious examination of the Word of God and faith’s holy teachings always more perfect form and make myself fit for this sacred office, and make serious endeavor, as befits a servant of the word, to lead the congregation by example, thus the performance of my service in its different parts with all dueobedience abide by the ecclesiastical laws and regulations and superiors and call allies show such a relationship that is not the reason shall be possible to complain aboutme. "
I admit that the pastor’s oath is not a legally binding oath and that it is spoken primarily in moral terminology, but when here suggests something about the moral integrity"to lead the church by example, thus the performance of my service in his different parts "and" that there be no reason shall be possible to complain about me. "Is that on this basis a moral acceptable behavior he has shown?
Can it really be true that Denmark should have a case of church and state (police) who collides with an American citizen's life and rights? He has house and home, and want to completely 100% to have Daniela home as his wife. We do not want as much as half a year more being tied in Denmark because of Jonas Serner-Pedersen. And we doeverything we can, even for Daniela's American boyfriend.
Daniela is traveling to the U.S. with her American boyfriend and future husband. There he has his house. It is also violation of a U.S. citizen; he cannot take with him Daniela to his house and home. We want to fight for it in relation to U.S. law. With his working background, I also believe he can be heard in the United States.
Everything from now on will be put onto the website "Freedom of expression" is now being translated into English so that it can be read in as wide a forum as possible, and also in connection with Daniela’s American boyfriend and when we need help from the United States because his rights are violated.
Now she is completely unable to apply for a visa to the United States. Daniela has got a criminal record. Can Jonas really be allowed to enslave us in Denmark? I have spoken to the police and have been told that we should not assume that the restraining order will be removed. I for my part cannot live with Jonas Serner-Pedersen havinga restraining order on me like I'm a dangerous person. Yet he was brazen enough to walk around at my job at a council meeting there, along with “Dansk Oase’s” leadershipSaturday, April 6, 2013, so I did not know if I could go over to Daniela's son with a music stand. How can I be dangerous to Jonas?

Background information
Daniela Skov explained that it is true that she has sent text messages and e-mailed to Jonas Jacob Serner -Pedersen , and she also has recorded various messages on Serner -Pedersen's voice mail. She may well recognize that she has violated the restraining order of 12 November 2012, but she does not understand the background of the restraining order. She was almost in shock when the restraining order was served on her, and she was then in serious crisis. Jonas Jacob Serner -Pedersen had been chairman of an association called "Oasen", which is a church organization under Kolding Valgmenighed . There was at one time serious problems in "Oasen ", which also accused had a son who was with the movement. At one point, Jonas Jacob Serner –Pedersen was expelled from Kolding Valgmenighed. Jonas Jacob Serner -Pedersen thought that the church was to be protected, and he would not help to uncover the illegal activities that had taken place in "Oasen". The accused and Lars Krøgholt contacted Jonas Jacob Serner -Pedersen, because he had to send them some papers, but nothing happened . They lacked so some resignation papers as well as an acknowledgment of receipt of a resignation.
