- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-45892 RUSSIAN BAPTISTS ATTEND YOUTH MEETING PORTLAND, Ore. -- Baptist leaders from Russia visit Portland’s First Baptist Church during a break between events of the 8th Baptist Youth World Conference. From left are: Valentine Ryndina, an interpreter at Baptist headquarters in Moscow; Alexsei M. Bichkov, minister and general secretary of the All-Union Council of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of U.S.S.R.; Leonid F. Ckatchenko, choir leader of Moscow Baptist Church; and Michael J. Zhidkov, minister of Moscow Baptist Church and vice-president of the All-Union Council of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of U.S.S.R. During the Baptist World Alliance-sponsored meeting, attended by more than 5,000 delegates from 50 nations, Mr. Bichkov said that the Soviet government does not bother Baptists and there is “increasing mutual understanding” between church and state. “Sometimes an extreme atheist violates our rights,” he said.” Then the church sends up a petition to us and we send a petition to the government, and our rights are protected.” Baptists report that there are more than 550,000 Baptists in the Soviet Union, which is third in the world in the number of Baptist believers, after the U.S. and India.
