| Summary: | This article gives a brief chronological overview of developments in Orthodox ecclesiology and then focuses on the last phase of this development, so-called ‘national ecclesiology’, which is the current Orthodox ecclesiological model. In the article, national ecclesiology is identified as one of the main sources of the problems which this church faces today. National ecclesiology is blamed for disabling the Orthodox churches from satisfactorily responding to the demands of the modern age, and for inhibiting her adaptation to the globalized pluralistic world. The author also attempts to give an answer to the question of what needs to be done in order to modernize Orthodox ecclesiology. |
