Scaffolds of the Church

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of unity within the church, this book examines how ecclesial structures, while intended to support unity, can sometimes foster disunity. By likening these structures to scaffolding, it highlights their non-essential role in the church's nature. Focusing on Eastern Christian structures like patriarchates and autocephaly, the author analyzes their evolution and current relevance, emphasizing their potential to create division within Orthodox churches. The work critically evaluates how these frameworks align with their original purpose in promoting the church's unity.
