Hi,
returning here about the interview with Marie Willermark. Marie agrees to an interview under the conditions I have described earlier.
· Namely, that she can see the recorded story in its entirety
· then confer with other members of leadership who will be present during the visit. This will be 3-4 people
· You then interview Marie and broadcast the interview unedited
· .
In that you say yourself that your ambition is to broadcast the interview in an unedited condition, I believe, in relation to the duration, it’s possible to assign a time frame in advance and limit the time for questions and answers.
Lars Beijer kommer att bevaka min e-post under nästa vecka.
Vänliga hälsningar
With regard to the time of the interview, Marie can make herself available on Tuesday morning, provided it (the interview) is completed by 11:30 AM due to another engagement that can not be changed.
Next week I will be unavailable, so please email details of the time and place of the meeting, directly to
marie.willermark @ fralsningsarmen.se with a copy to me and lars.beijer @ fralsningsarmen.se
Lars Beijer will be monitoring my e-mail over the next week.
Sincerely,
2011-04-29 16:58 from Cold Fact

The program content
We have still not been told what the Cold Facts’ program will focus on but the Cold Facts site states:
Salvation Army's views on gays reviewed
Sunday, May 8th, 2011 at 18:00
Cold Facts examines the attitude towards homosexuals in the Salvation Army, which is Sweden's second largest faith based solicitation organization. They receive millions of Swedish Kronor each year in donations and contributions from, among other sources the state, to help the vulnerable, but one group is excluded, the homosexual community.
In tonight's program the Salvation Army's attitude toward homosexuals is scrutinized. A hidden camera is employed and one of the Salvation Army Pastors tells Cold Facts that the organization's basic position is that homosexuality is a sin. Another Pastor tries to "liberate" the reporter from homosexuality through prayer.
Homosexuals are not allowed to become Salvation Army soldiers and their rights are restricted politically (supported) by the Salvation Army throughout the world. In particular, in Malawi, the Salvation Army wants them imprisoned because of their sexual orientation.
The cold facts teams - Jonas Alsgren, Michael Funke and Phil Pöysti - has for four months examined attitudes towards homosexuals in the Salvation Army, the second largest religious fund raising organization (in Sweden). The question is whether it is contrary to the rules granting government funds to religious groups.
