| | Ecclesiology in Church History |
 | | Ecclesiology was not a major issue in the early church. | | | The major categories covered are: (1) Ecclesiology Overview; (2) Four Great Ecumenical Councils; (3) Important Dates Related to Ecclesiology; (4) Marks of the Church; (5) Major Controversies; (6) Key Individuals Related to Ecclesiology; and (7) Baptist and Catholic Issues. | | | The two poles of Calvin’s ecclesiology were divine election and the local congregation. |

| | I argued that this was a consequence of their ecclesiology, and the implications of this were perceived as radically altering the way in which the world was constructed and the understanding of what it meant to stand as human before God. | | | I have tried to show, however, that because of their commitment to an ecclesiology which was at odds with the mainline thinking of their period, they found that not only their understanding of church but also of human existence in its most fundamental implications was also reshaped. | | | The implications of such an ecclesiology involve more than that we order our worship in a certain way, or even than that we organise the governing of the church in a certain way, though these are important issues. |

| | Howard Snyder gave an excellent paper on Wesleyan ecclesiology, Rad Zdero presented a paper on house churches in Canada and Jared Siebert gave a paper on the emerging church (where he compared the emerging church to bus ministry) Jared created a podcast and it will be posted at the Life Cycle Project. | | | The wikipedia article, often held to be one of the best descriptions of the emerging church has this to say about emerging ecclesiology, “Reflecting its decentralized and local nature, the emerging church does not maintain a mutually agreed-on ecclesiology, or set of beliefs defining the specific role and nature of the church. | | | If the emerging church is to have an ecclesiology, it will emerge out of the attempt to balance the perceived current imbalance of “in it, not of it”. |

| | Laura's Writings: ECCLESIOLOGY AS MISSIOLOGY? |
| | The church is both earthly and heavenly and I think ecclesiology from the heavenly perspective should--no, must--precede an ecclesiology from the earthly perspective. | | | I contend that ecclesiology, at its core, is timeless. | | | I would also tend to believe that ecclesiology is our most flexible doctrine in that we are given a frame to operate in, but not a prescription. |

| | When is a Church not a Church |
| | Moreover, the criticism voiced by Runcie and others is provoked not by a total lack of an evangelical ecclesiology, but by their dislike of the ecclesiology which many Evangelicals have. | | | The idea that if a local Church cannot agree with aspects of a bishop’s stance on some controversial matter it can pick and choose a bishop from elsewhere is but a recent indication of the need for a study of ecclesiology, called for by Robert Runcie at NEAC 3. | | | True, some Evangelical Anglicans have a cursory ecclesiology, but this is not to say there is no Evangelical ecclesiology of which they could avail themselves if they so chose. |

| | The conciliar nature of the Orthodox Church: definition and implications |
| | Eucharistic ecclesiology claims that the local church is the Body of Christ in its eucharistic aspect — by partaking of the one loaf which is the one body of Christ, the eucharistic community becomes the Body. | | | Universal ecclesiology, which is the ecclesiology of the Roman Catholic Church, sees the whole church in the whole world as a single organic entity with a single head. | | | The importance placed on reception is the consequence of eucharistic ecclesiology — every church is the whole church, which recognizes the whole church in other local churches. |

| | FT October 2003: The Public Square |
| | The question of intercommunion as it is addressed by Ecclesia de Eucharistia is, then, the question of ecclesiology: whether the Catholic Church is what she claims to be. | | | The encyclical says that the Church understands “an ecclesiology of communion [to be] the central and fundamental idea of the documents of the Second Vatican Council.” Intercommunion without a shared ecclesiology of communion is the enemy of authentic unity. | | | Any such concelebration would not be a valid means and might well prove instead to be an obstacle to the attainment of full communion by weakening the sense of how far we remain from this goal and by introducing or exacerbating ambiguities with regard to one or another truth of the faith. |

| | Communio Sanctorum eng |
| | This ecclesiology is approached by a framework concept of ecclesiology ecumenically accepted in the mean time which tries to combine various ecclesial images and notions from a communio/koinonia perspective of the New Testament and the Old Church: The communion of saints is primarily a communion established by the sacred, literally: by holy gifts, i. | | | "Communio Sanctorum" presents an almost complete ecclesiology in ecumenical perspective with the claim of being systematic, not unlike the Church Constitution "Lumen Gentium". | | | The result is therefore not a new document of consensus, but rather an indication of problems on a high academic level; it contains a manifold offer to possible solutions. |

| | Ecclesiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ecclesiology is a branch of Christian theology that deals with the doctrines pertaining to the Church itself as a community or organic entity, and with the understanding of what the "church" is: its role in salvation, its origin, its relationship to the historical Christ, its discipline, its destiny (see Eschatology) and its leadership. | | | In addition to describing a broad discipline of theology, ecclesiology may be used in the specific sense of a particular church or denomination’s character, self-described or otherwise. | | | Ecclesiology comes from the Greek ekklesia (ἐκκλησία), which comes into Latin as ecclesia, and which simply means a gathering or a meeting. |

| | The most fundamental error in the history of Christian ecclesiology is limiting the fellowship of saints (koinonia--Acts 2:42) to an organized institution. | | | The history of 'ecclesiology' is saturated with men adding foolish regulations, personal preferences, and vain philosophy to the gospel. | | | It is an irony that Luther named one of his writings on ecclesiology 'The Babylonian Captivity of the Church' (1520). |

| | It was rather that the ecclesiology which they adopted and the implications of which they were working out led them to positions which challenged the basic norms of their community. | | | It is turn, the ecclesiology was supposed to set the pattern for the whole community, to provide structure and pattern to maintain the coherence of the world. | | | The previous pattern of the mass, which was to some extent continued in the reformation churches, grew from an ecclesiology which saw the church as the dispenser of grace existing almost over against the pious who came to worship. |

| | The phrase "deep ecclesiology" has been attributed to me. I realize the meaning of a term or phrase is often determined by its contemporary usage rather than its original intent and therefore I plan to honor those who have taken it further and have brought additional insights. | | | By ecclesiology, I mean the nature, life and practice of the church, in this instance, that part of the church that is growing and active in the emerging culture. | | | The term "deep ecclesiology" has begun to be adopted and used over the past 3 years and is circulating mainly among practitioners and leaders of the emerging-missional church. |

| | The ecclesiology of communion is a profoundly Eucharistic ecclesiology. | | | The ecclesiology of communion began to be reduced to the theme of the relationship between the local Church and the universal Church, which in turn degenerated gradually into the problem of the division of the areas of competence between them. | | | In these chapters the intrinsic purpose once again comes to the fore: that is, all that is most essential to her existence: it is a question of holiness, of conformity to God, that there be room in the world for God, that he dwell in it and thus that the world become his "kingdom". |
