We have asked Grok. the chatbot from xAI: Who is Jan-Aage Torp, and what does he stand for. Here we convey unedited the description from Grok:
«Jan-Aage Torp is a Norwegian pastor and evangelist, born in Kyoto, Japan, and raised in Bangkok, Thailand by Norwegian missionary parents. He leads Oslokirken in Oslo and serves as president of European Apostolic Leaders (EAL), as well as chairman of Kristen Koalisjon Norge (KKN). He is known for his bold, radically conservative Christian activism — particularly his opposition to abortion laws, same-sex marriage, and what he sees as moral decline in society. He strongly advocates for Judeo-Christian values as the foundation of Norwegian culture. His ministry emphasizes biblical faith, traditional family structures, and spiritual warfare, including practices such as exorcism and the Seven Mountain Mandate. Torp has been a prominent voice in Norwegian media since the early 1990s, promoting prayer for leaders and conservative ethics. Some of his positions, including criticism of the Child Welfare Services, have sparked controversy. His extensive international network reflects a deep commitment to advancing Christian influence worldwide, often in partnership with conservative movements.»
