"We consider that such statements to other believers or to people of different nationalities are unacceptable, especially on the part of a person in such a position," said Leonid Mikhovich, bishop of 39, Union of Christian Evangelical Baptists of Byelorussia. Vladyka Pavel "on the channel ECHO-TV.
– Metropolitan Paul responded negatively to the words of the Baptists, using phrases such as "sect," in the conversation that he described as "annoying," "terrible," accused of carrying out propaganda compared with Gypsies who "plunder the people". We consider that such statements to other believers or persons of other nationalities are unacceptable, especially from someone in such a position. Belarussian history and culture teaches us tolerance and kindness towards people of all nationalities and believers of different denominations, knowing that the right to freedom of religion is enshrined in law, indicates a statement by Leonid Mikhovich, published on the website of the Union of Evangelical Baptist Christians.

Recall that in the release of the show "Conversations with Vladyka Pavel" of November 24, 2018, one of the audience asked Metropolitan Paul how to treat his Baptist neighbors: "How are Christians or sectarians?"
– It turns out that I lived in Karaganda. There were many sectarians around us: Baptists, Evangelicals. You know, everything seemed normal: people worked, they studied, he replied. – But as soon as they arrive, they start their conversations – it becomes a terrible thing. So boring! And their main mission in life is mission, they are all missionaries, they want to transform everyone into their sect … (…). Their training from an early age goes in this direction. They have the skills to carry out propaganda. No preaching, but propaganda, because preaching never rapes people. And they hammer all the time in the same place. You can not talk about anything with them, and if they are always together! You know, like gypsies. They go home and start, you know, to get agitated until they have a man.
