Abstract

The article analyzes the historical conditions that shaped the attitude of evangelical churches in Ukraine toward the state and outlines the main models of their interaction in the current socio-political context. Particular attention is paid to the theological understanding of the prophetic role of the Church, which involves maintaining a critical distance from state power and a readiness to expose injustice, corruption, and abuse at the local level. The problem of the ideologization of the Church in different historical periods is also considered, and the responsibility of Christians as citizens for active participation in socio-political processes with a view to the future transformation of the state is emphasized.
