The UCEC believes that information about the split in the church is exaggerated, the correspondent portal Religion in Ukraine reports.A statement signed yesterday by Ihor Lukyanov, an assistant in church-state relations to UCEC senior bishop Leonid Padun, rejects the accusations by former UCEC ministers because they “are groundless and do not reflect the real reasons for the differences arising between the Ukrainian Christian Evangelical Church and the Swedish center Livets Ord and the organization Word of Life International centered in Uppsala, Sweden.”In particular, the UCEC points out that “the statement of the pastors and ministers who resigned from the UCEC specified inaccurate information about the list and the number of communities that have adopted such a decision. ]]></description>

This was explained at a press conference in Kyiv by Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk, who said the tradition of celebrating the two events together – the feast day of Prince Volodymyr and the anniversary of the Baptism of Rus-Ukraine – is a tradition of the Russian Church.“Combining these two events was intended to emphasize the state nature of the state religion of Moscow Orthodoxy]]></description>
