In his Easter address to the people of Great Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron celebrated the role of Christianity across the country and spoke out against the persecution of Christians in other parts of the world.

"Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate the ultimate triumph of life over death in the resurrection of Jesus," Cameron said. "And for all of us it's a time to reflect on the part that Christianity plays in our national life."

Cameron said the Church is "not just a collection of beautiful old buildings," but a "living, active force doing great works right across our country."

Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices, And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it. [Gen. 1:26.] http://bible.com/8/col.3.9-10.amp

English translation

“Kirke I Byen” – Apostolic Church in Kolding, is about to "build an amphitheatrical church with space for 1000 persons" (according to Flemming Jensen, a member of the Church), at International Apostolic Bible College grounds. They have many children and adolescents entrusted. So that is why it is of the utmost importance with transparent leadership. When those of us who are parents, would that our children should be able to tell the difference between what is yours and mine in money matters and will teach them that their life succeeds best when they live in truthfulness and with respect for other people, we can also expect the same qualities at the “Kirke I Byen”’s pastoral leadership and the priesthood in “Frikirkenet” in Denmark.

When our 14 years old son wants so much to be in the youth environment of the church, and this we do understand, then it is extremely difficult not to be able to talk with him about the fact that there is economic crimes in the Apostolic Church.

In 2008 we went to the Pentecostal Church’s leadership (Kolding Church Center), pastors Grete and Flemming Petterson due to gift contributions which Lone Ambæk, who was a teacher in the church, took into her own account and retained. We were at least 24 people from various churches in and outside Kolding on that course contributing gifts for the course. There is a police report within these links. The money, which came into Lone’s account, and she then stole, no one could get their rightful tax deductions for. We have reported to the Tax authority, and given a police report, but it has been totally ignored. We've got police restraints and fines, and got destroyed our health because of the motto "we must protect the Church - new Christians baptized should not know what is going on here, because then they will not come here". Said by pastor Jonas Serner-Petersen, then Kolding, now pastor in Hjerm parish.

When I Lars Skov Krøgholt was a student at the International Apostolic Bible College 2005-2008, I was in a tutor group with 6-7 other men, led by then- head of bible college, former pastor Bent Christiansen. At one point Bent Christiansen told us, that the Apostolic Church's annual summer camp from now on was restructured, so that the Bible College had nothing to do with it. Up until then the summer camp had been held in accordance with the Law regulating the “Folk High Schools” for adults (a special school system we have in Denmark) as being a family course (which gave access to State aid, my annotation), but this was now cancelled. He told it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and we just sat there and talked not about it in detail.

I do not recall whether he told about the background for the changes, but afterward, I wondered, because we never got to know, that we participated in a folk high school course, when we were at the summer camp, and I wonder whether the conference has lived up to high school law on the clause that half the teaching should be of a broad general nature? It has a taste of an exploitative attitude to those opportunities the law for high schools gave for state support. It has to be a considerable amount of money the school could get this way. So it is conceivable that the Ministry of education has removed support for summer camp, precisely because half of the camp did not include teaching of a broad general nature. The consequences of that the State support fell away was that they could no longer give the camp and the diet at a reduced rate for the volunteer helpers, and the camp had, in general, become more expensive. When we in 2008 sought the help of Doctor Henrik Prins Rasmussen, Medical house "Lægehus Nord" in Kolding, who was a member of the Church Council in Kristkirken Church in Kolding, he said that "Bent Christiansen is a bandit".
