Christian Baptist Background of new Ukrainian President (translation by google NOT perfect but understandable) Baptized in 1999. In his own words A.Turchinova he evangelical Christian, Baptist, is also the leader of the Ukrainian branch....: I am the least interested in a career bureaucrat ... I preach in the church and pastoral ministry for me it would be more interesting than working on a post Prime Minister. At the same time he stressed that, despite the sermons delivered by him, he is not a pastor. To the question: If you turned to the opposition to preach to you say? Turchinov replied: ... a person who believes in God, is not afraid of death. As death for us Christian believers, this - the gate to meet our Creator. When there is faith - fear disappears. Go ahead and win together. What church goes Oleksandr Turchynov, is the answer to your question: obozrevatel When I found out where the Baptist meeting house, where go to Sunday service prominent BYT and Victor Alexander Turchinov Ukolov decided that at the first opportunity of its visit. Their church is located in Pechersk district near the Botanical Garden, Outdoor Michurinskaya. When driving on the Bastion, at the intersection of Catherine Street Belokur need to turn left and then turn right. This will be a street Michurinskaya. It almost entirely built up mansions. In this area live Omelyanenko Alex, head of the Party of Regions in Kyiv City Council and the closest ally of Vasyl Horbal and Yury Dubov - ally Oleksandr Turchynov (also a Baptist). Interestingly, the whole three Michurina religious institutions. Two of them - just recently built on money and Gorbal Omelyanenko (even helped Poroshenko) Orthodox churches (one in the Byzantine style, the other - in Russian). This monastic complex, and the third is at the end of the street. It is a Baptist prayer house, where on Sunday at 14.00 and come with Ukolov Turchinov. Are well-known in the area. I went to the house of prayer. Before him big billboard that says that you are in front of the center of the Word of Life, which has a charitable mission society, Graduate Theological Academy, Bible Institute and the church itself Peace, love and unity ... Baptists impress intelligent people. The first thing that catches your eye - it is their kindness, friendliness and smiling. Each other when they met they say - Greetings! Appeal among themselves - brother and sister. Shake hands. Speak calmly, businesslike, talking loudly is not accepted here. Nobody nobody makes comments not chic. Interestingly, when I walked into the room (come anyone for anything without warning), which hosted the service, no one I have to find out Who are you and where?, Why did you come here?, Who do you work? , journalist? What will you write? Nobody would chase me and make trouble. All calmly answered my questions. I could go where he wanted. Incidentally, Pricks, seeing me, and also not surprised no questions asked. Only laughed, jumped up from his seat, walked over, we shook hands and embraced. Victor gave me quietly make photos and video. Likewise Turchinov. Seeing me, nodded, as if nothing had happened, like we had here meet every Sunday for many years. And Turchinov, and injections do not cause any excitement among the parishioners, nobody was surrounded, no they are not flattering. They behave very simply and quickly. On Air big politics Answering the question of the leader about the place of religion in his life, Turchinov said: I am a preacher. Preaching in the evangelical church Christians-Baptists. You can go anywhere, you hear? - Asked the host. Certainly. Michurin. Come on, look forward to seeing you there. I invite all of you, - said Turchinov. Next presenter asked whether Turchynov fears that belong to Protestant churches can work against the party Fatherland because majority of Ukrainian citizens are either Orthodox or Greek Catholics. Im not here looking environment. And the fact that, of course, in Soviet times very harshly persecuted Protestants. Then believed that once the developed world are Protestant - United States, Switzerland, Holland, then surely it is the members of this denomination have to throw in jail and so on. But the world is changing. And Ukraine polyconfessional country - said Turchinov. I have great respect for all believers, no matter to what denomination they belong to. The main thing is for people to believe. Because faith makes us human. Without faith, it is transformed into a beast who rapes and kills, who believes that everyone should work for him. And by the way, one of the main problems that the regime imposes Ukraine - it is the destruction of morals. This is the main crime of the regime - added BYuT . Editorial Rong MEMO: To judge whether or not a Christian - none of us has the right, only God, only God sees his life and his heart. We can bless and pray to God that He gave Alexander the wisdom to lead the people correctly. Michael Shahnazarov
