Abstract
"The nature of Christ’s relationship to the Church and the Church’s role in salvation have been points of dispute among the Christian traditions since the days of the Protestant Reformation.1 Recent gatherings of evangelicals, Catholics, and Orthodox for dialogue indicate that questions of ecclesiology will continue to command attention for dialogue to proceed fruitfully. Of particular interest in the current context are indications of an openness from some evangelicals to the usual Catholic and Orthodox charge of being weak in ecclesiology. One evangelical, for example, re˘ecting on his own encounter with Orthodoxy states, “. . . it is understandable that evangelicals feel that the Orthodox doctrine of the church is too ‘high.’ But perhaps our theology of the church is too ‘low,’ much lower than our Protestant forebears would have it"
