Dear Robert Bladt

Kære Biskop Henrik Stubkjær, Viborg Stift og fhv Generalsekretær i Folkekirkens Nødhjælp.

Det var et stærkt signal netop du, Biskop Henrik Stubkjær sendte ud fra kirkens top - du samtidig med en præst meldte ud i offentligheden, at du fandt det betænkeligt, at hjemløse skulle kunne overnatte i kirkens rum - altså INDENDØRE I VARMEN I EN KIRKEBYGNING- om vinteren. At kirkens dør skulle være åben for mennesker i nød!!!!!!

Det var rystende at læse. Din vej fra GENERALSEKRETÆR I FOLKEKIRKENS NØDHJÆLP TIL FOLKEKIRKEN I DANMARKS HØJE LEDELSE har betydet et totalt sporskifte. ROLLESKIFT?

Betænkeligt at være kærlig og hjælpsom?

Er FOLKEKIRKENS NØDHJÆLP bygget på LIBERALISTISK FILOSOFI ?

Er din rolle som BISKOP at SIKRE STATSkirken, PASSER PÅ SINE RIGDOMME OG RENE LOKALER

OG AT SIKRE AT STATENS KIRKE GIVER UD AF SÅ LIDT SOM MULIGT , og hvad STATSkirken må finde passende - filantropisk.

Er du ansat og LØNNET SOM TJENESTEmand, til at tjene staten med at finde måder at spare så velfærden BLIVER I DE RIGES HÆNDER PÅ!!!

OG i tjeneste som opretholder af KIRKENS gode samvittighed - JA , den der sikrer at den gode stemning opretholdt!

Som du forsikrer de unge, der melder sig ud af kirken telefonisk om: " alt handler ikke om penge!"

Nej det er ikke mindst om

gode historier!

Det var vigtigst for KIRKEN så det udtryk har vi blandt andet fra din Facebook profil i årets løb.

Ikke at mennesker trives og lykkes og er regnet for værdifulde. Men mennesker er PENGE . Ligesom under slaveriet i de vestindiske øer, som KIRKEN HAR ET STORT MEDANSVAR FOR.

filantropi, velgørenhed; ofte med en forbindelse til kristen næstekærlighed. Filantropi vandt indpas i den europæiske samfundsdebat sidst i 1700-t. især i den engelsktalende del af verden og betegnede den velovervejede og samfundsforbedrende velgørenhed, der manifesterede sig i oprettelsen af talrige foreninger og organisationer og fra sidste halvdel af 1800-t. tillige i store private fonde med almennyttige formål. I USA er filantropi et samlet begreb for den organiserede private velgørenhed og støtte til videnskab og kunst. Eksempler herpå er Ford Foundation, Andrew Carnegie Foundation og Rockefeller Foundation.

Ordet filantropi kommer af filo-, se -fil, og græsk anthropos 'menneske', dvs. 'menneskekærlighed'.

I Danmark er filantropi nu overvejende et historisk begreb, som betegner 1800-t.s organiserede private velgørenhed.

Bibelen lærer os at tage åbent imod flygtninge og migranter

Når vi dykker ind i den bibelske historie opdager vi, at migration er et centralt, bærende tema for hele den bibelske frelseshistorie.

Robert Bladt, generalsekretær i Kristeligt Forbund for Studerende

Det ubehagelige ved debatten om flygtninge og immigranter er ikke ønsket om at værne om en national identitet og et fællesskab med sammenhængskraft. Det er derimod den retorik, som forudsætter, at nogle folk er andre overlegne, mener generelsekretær Robert Bladt

Jeg er ikke stolt over at være dansker. Jeg er utrolig glad for og taknemmelig over at være dansker. Men stolt? Jeg kan vel ikke være stolt over noget, jeg selv, hverken direkte eller indirekte, er anledning til? At være dansker er en gave, et vilkår, et privilegium.

National stolthed går ellers sin sejrsgang over Europa. I rigtig mange lande oplever politiske partier med nationalistiske over- og undertoner fremgang. Det uheldige og uhæderlige ved national stolthed er ikke, at den er en ulogisk selvmodsigelse. Det er derimod uheldigt og uhæderligt, at den ofte hænger sammen med mistænksomhed, selvgodhed og foragt over for andre.

At tilhøre et folk og være en del af et samfund er en Guds gave til et menneske. De af os, som har en tydelig national identitet, tænker ikke nødvendigvis over, hvor værdifuldt, det er.

I Det Gamle Testamente refereres en samtale mellem Guds profet Elisa og en unavngiven kvinde fra Shunem. Den samtale afslører, at hun kender betydningen af at høre til. Da Elisa spørger hende, hvordan han kan gengælde hendes gæstfrihed, svarer hun: ”Jeg bor midt i mit folk!” (Anden Kongebog kapitel 4 vers 13). Hvad skulle Elisa kunne give hende, når hun bor midt i sit folk?

Den kristne missionær Paulus, som i det 1. århundrede bragte det kristne evangelium til mange folkeslag og lande, talte om, at det er Gud, der har ”skabt alle folk og ladet dem bosætte sig overalt på jorden og fastsat bestemte tider og grænser for, hvor de skal bo” (Apostlenes Gerninger kapitel 17 vers 26).

Vi skylder altså Gud tak for, at vi har et land og et folk, som vi hører til. Men må vi så ikke i samme åndedrag vise medfølelse med og omsorg for dem, som ikke er ligeså privilegerede som os? Det ubehagelige ved debatten om flygtninge og immigranter er ikke at mærke ønsket om at værne om en national identitet og et fællesskab med sammenhængskraft. Det ubehagelige er at mærke en retorik, som forudsætter, at nogle folk og nationer er andre overlegne og har stærkere ret til at bo ”midt i sit folk”.

Den bibelske historie kan inspirere os til, hvordan vi tænker humant og næstekærligt om det at høre til i et folkefællesskab. Guds folks historie begynder med en mand, Abram, som får besked på at forlade sit land, sin slægt og sin familie, hvorefter han bor som migrant i forskellige lande resten af sit liv. Hans efterkommere lever i århundreder i flygtningeghettoer i Egypten, inden de på dramatisk vis får deres eget hjemland.

Hele denne forhistorie er baggrunden for Det Gamle Testamentes etik i mødet med migranter:

”Du må ikke bøje retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du må ikke tage enkens klædning i pant. Husk at du selv var træl i Egypten ...” (Femte Mosebog kapitel 24 vers 17-18).

En etik, som også springer ud af Guds person. Han er ”den store, den vældige og den frygtindgydende Gud, som ikke er partisk og ikke lader sig bestikke”, og i samme åndedrag er han den, som ”skaffer den faderløse og enken ret, og som elsker den fremmede og giver ham føde og klæder” (Femte Mosebog kapitel 10 vers 17-18)

Den bibelske historie fortsætter med at være historien om migration kulminerende i, at Guds egen søn bliver en fremmed blandt mennesker, overladt til de i den faldne verden hjemmehørende menneskers forgodtbefindende. Han blev forfulgt af Herodes og måtte leve sin barndom som migrant i Egypten. Han blev distanceret af de ledende i folket og kaldt galilæer, nazaræer og samaritaner. Og han blev symbolsk henrettet ”uden for byporten”, forkastet af mennesker.

Når vi dykker ind i den bibelske historie om migration - som der kun er løftet en flig af her - opdager vi, at migration er et centralt, bærende tema for hele den bibelske frelseshistorie. Når Gud udvalgte efterkommerne af en omvandrende aramæer og blev en fremmed i vores verden, var det for at forsone og forene alle folkeslag i tilbedelse af den Gud, som vi alle udgår fra.

Korset er en forsoning af det enkelte menneskes skyld over for Gud, og samtidig sker der ved korset en sanering af det fjendskab, som bygges op mellem etniske og nationale fællesskaber. Et fællesskab, som vil fuldendes i evigheden, hvor mennesker af ”alle folkeslag og stammer, folk og tungemål” skal tilbede Gud, som frelsen udgår fra (Johannes Åbenbaring kapitel 7 vers 9).

Læs også: Mette Bock: Ethvert menneske er min næste

Læsningen af den bibelske historie minder os om, i hvilken ånd og med hvilket sind vi bør møde migranter. Deres tab af at høre til et folk og være en del af et fællesskab er slået itu af politisk eller religiøs undertrykkelse, krig eller sult. I besindelse på, hvor betydningsfuldt dette er for os, må vi møde dem med medfølelse, overbærenhed og konkret hjælp - og lægge al misforstået stolthed, moralsk og etnisk overlegenhed bort.

Politiet kontaktede mig Lars den 6. juni og sagde, at jeg er sigtet for angiveligt at skrive til Jonas Serner-Pedersen gennem Hans Anker. Nu efter 10 dage er gået, har vi endnu ikke hørt mere end den ene opringning. Er vi sigtet, eller har politiet opgivet det igen? Det føles som nedbrydende stress og chikane.

Med venlig hilsen Daniela Skov og Lars Skov Krøgholt

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Dear Bishop Stubkjær, Viborg and former Secretary General of DanChurchAid.

It was a strong signal just you, Bishop Henrik Stubkjær sent out from the church's top - you along with a pastor were the only ones to signal out in public, that you found it alarming that the homeless could spend the night in the church buildings - meaning INDOORS IN THE WARMTH IN A CHURCH SANCTUARY during winters.

That the church door should be open to people in dire need !!!!!!

It was shocking to read. Your way from SECRETARY-GENERAL IN DANCHURCHAID to the Church In DENMARK HIGH PLACE OF MANAGEMENT has meant a total TURNAROUND?

A ROLE CHANGE?

A ️PARAGDIGMESHIFT?

Inadviseable to be loving and helpful?

Is DANCHURCHAID built on liberal PHILOSOPHY?

Is your role as BISHOP to secure that the state church, HOLD TIGHT ITS RICHES AND CLEAN ROOMS

AND TO ENSURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S CHURCH DONATES as little as possible, and ONLY what state church must find appropriate - philanthropically.

Are you employed and PAID as a civil servant, to serve the state to find ways to save so welfare STAY In the hands of the RICH ?

AND the servant who aid the CHURCH MAINTAINING Its good conscience - YES, it ensures the maintenance of the good atmosphere !

As insuring young people who decide to opt out from the church by telephone: "everything is not about money!" YES it is not least telling the

good story."

" Telling the good story!" was most important to the CHURCH in Denmark. This among other things were also on your Facebook profile during the year.

It is not the stories about people thriving and succeed and is considered UNIQUE as in valuable.

But people are MONEY. EXACTLY as the 300- 200 years during slavery in the West Indies, that CHURCH HOLDS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

The season in the sands of time when Church ruled over the society.

philanthropy, charity; often with a connection to Christian charity. Philanthropy gained a foothold in the European public debate in late 1700 t. especially in the English-speaking world and described it judicious and social betterment charity, manifested in the creation of numerous associations and organizations, and from the latter half of 1800 t. also in large private foundations with charitable causes. In the US, philanthropy an overall concept for the organized private charity and support for science and art. Examples include the Ford Foundation, the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.

The word philanthropy comes from the philosopher, see file, and Greek anthropos 'human', ie 'Benevolence'.

In Denmark philanthropy now largely a historical concept, which denotes 1800 t.s organized private charity.

The Bible teaches us to receive refugees and migrants with an open heart

When we delve into the biblical story of migration, we find that migration is a central, guiding theme for the whole of the biblical history of salvation, believes the Secretary general Robert Bladt. Photo: Private Photo

The unpleasant thing by the debate about refugees and immigrants is not the desire to preserve national identity and a community with cohesiveness. It is, however, the rhetoric, which assumes that some people are superior to others, General Secretary Robert Bladt believes.

I'm not proud to be a Dane. I am extremely happy and grateful to be a Dane. But proud? I suppose I cannot be proud of something I myself, neither directly nor indirectly, is cause for? Being a Dane is a gift, a circumstance, a privilege.

National pride is in fact on a path of victory across Europe. In a great many countries political parties with nationalist overtones and undertones experience gain. The bad and dishonest by national pride is not that it is an illogical contradiction. On the other hand, it is unfortunate and unfair that it is often linked with suspicion, self-righteousness and contempt towards others.

To belong to a people and be part of a community is a godsend to a human. Those of us, who have a distinct national identity, do not necessarily think of how valuable it is.

In the Old Testament is referenced a conversation between God's Prophet Elisha and an unnamed woman from Shunem. The conversation reveals that she knows the importance of belonging. When Elisha asks her, how he can repay her hospitality, she responds: "I live in the midst of my people!" (The second book of Kings Chapter 4 verse 13). What should Elisha be able to give her when she lives in the midst of her people?

The Christian missionary St. Paul, who in the 1. Century brought the Christian Gospel to many ethnicities and countries, said that it is God who has "created all people and let them settle anywhere on Earth and set specific times and limits on where they are to live" (the Book of Acts chapter 17 verse 26).

We thus owe God thanks that we have a country and a people to which we belong. But should we not in the same breath show sympathy with and solicitude for those who are not as privileged as us? The unpleasant by the debate about refugees and immigrants is not to feel the desire to preserve national identity and a community with cohesiveness. The unpleasant is to feel a rhetoric, which assumes that some ethnicities and Nations are superior to others and have a greater right to live "in the midst of their people".

The biblical story can inspire us to how we think fondly and charitable of belonging to an ethnic people's community. The history of the people of God begins with a man, Abram, who is told to leave his country, his relatives and his family, after which he lives as a migrant in various countries for the rest of his life. His descendants live for centuries in refugee ghettos in Egypt before they dramatically get their own home country.

This whole story is the background of the Old Testament ethics in meeting with migrants:

"You must not bend the law for the stranger, and the fatherless, and do not take a widow's garment in pledge. Remember that you even thrall in Egypt ... " (Deuteronomy Chapter 24 verses 17-18).

An ethics, which also emanates from God's person. He is "the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.", and in the same breath, he is the one who “administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.” (Deuteronomy Chapter 10 verse 17-18)

The biblical story continues to be the story of migration, culminating in that God's own son becomes a stranger among the people, left to the whim of the people residing in the fallen world. He was persecuted by Herod and had to live his childhood as a migrant in Egypt. He was distanced by the leaders of the people and called Galilean, Nazarene and Samaritan. And he was symbolically executed "outside the gate", rejected by people.

When we delve into the biblical story of migration - of which we have only lifted a corner here – we discover that migration is a central guiding theme for the entire biblical history of salvation. When God elected the descendants of a wandering Aramean and became a stranger in our world, it was to reconcile and unite all Nations in the worship of the God, from whom we all originate.

The cross is a reconciliation of the individual man’s guilt before God, and at the same time happens at the cross a redevelopment of the enmity that builds up between ethnic and national communities. A community that is to be completed in eternity, where people of "all nations and tribes, peoples, and tongues" shall worship God from whom salvation shall emanate (the book of Revelation Chapter 7 verse 9).

The reading of the biblical story reminds us, in which spirit and with what mind we should meet migrants. Their loss of belonging to a people and be part of a community is broken by political or religious repression, war or famine. In reflection on how important this is for us, we must meet them with compassion, forbearance and concrete help and put away all misguided pride, moral and ethnic superiority.

​Police phoned me Lars on the 6 June and said that I was charged for allegedly having written to Jonas Serner-Pedersen through Hans Anker. Now after 10 days have gone, we have still not heard more from police than this one call. Are we charged, or has the police given up? It feels as devastating stress and harassment.
