Developments directly after November court The court granted Astrid limited privelages with her son, but after considering the court desision with others, and with her legal council, Astrid has decided to apply for a hearing in a higher court. This will be out of the small town court enviornment that Astrid feels has been a disadvantage to her in the proceedings thus far. The team of lawyers that she relies on, feel she has a feasable effort to regain the full parental custody that she has every right to have. I am awaiting the original bills, before I post them here, as Grant and Astrid have just received a copy from the court.
2003-01-08 2003-01-09 (The continuing excommunications)
We (Helen, Terry Barnato and I) have just returned
from a day in Oslo where we met Astrid and Grant for a meeting with their
lawyer. We heard a little more of the details of the other single mother (from
Bergen, not Oslo!) who was excommunicated by Lars Lund this last weekend. She
is a lovely younger lady with two children whom proffessed at a convention 9
years ago - we remember it well as we happened to be at this convention.
Astrid had taken her to this convention, and they have been close since. She
has been concerned, but has continued going to meetings since the ruckus about
Astrid and Grant. She has never the less been one of the few proffessing
friends that has shown kindness to Astrid and Grant and has invited them to
her home for coffee when she felt she wanted to.
She was at the Sunday meeting this last Sunday but felt
that something wasn't right. On Monday she got a phone call from Lars Lund
saying that one of the others at the meeting felt uncomfortable that she came
to the meeting inspite of the fact that she still kept company with
Astrid and Grant who were definately a bad influence - therefore he felt it
best she not come to meetings anymore until she was willing to chose between
the meeting or them!!!
It is quite a fellowship!!!
