Scaffolds of the Church

More about the book

Examining the evolution of church structures, this book delves into the concept of unity as essential to the church's existence. It critiques how certain ecclesial structures, originally intended to promote unity, can inadvertently foster disunity. Focusing on specific elements like patriarchates, canonical territories, and autocephaly within the Orthodox churches, the text highlights their significance and potential for division, all while situating these discussions within the broader themes of hierarchy and primacy.
