The Ethiopian priest Tewoderos Akalu Zevede lost the battle for a work permit in court, but won in the Court of Appeal. The verdict from the Court of Appeal states that the priest has good enough qualifications to fill the position of minister, contrary to the Court’s opinion. This gives Zevede stay in the country. The judgment also means that the decisions of the Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) and the judgment of the Oslo City Court is not approved.
‘Proper’. – A correct and good decision, says the man’s lawyer Knut Olaf Eldhuset.

Religious education. Eldhuset the support of the High Court. The judgment states the priest:
“Although he lacks a formal master as we know it in western education, he has by the Court of Appeal’s overall assessment a religious education and insight into his church teachings and rituals that can not be said to be behind the level of knowledge a Norwegian presteutdannning and terms the Norwegian church. “
In the Court of Appeal argued Eldhuset among other things, that the church is satisfied with Zevede.
- The church, which has sought the priest, got what they wanted. They are very pleased with him. Then it is strange that we should have a system of immigration that invalidates countrymen assessment of the candidate.
