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"engWith permission of the license/copyright holderecclesiologyChristChurchIncarnationChristian denominationsOrthodox (Eastern, Oriental)Roman CatholicEvangelicalDogmaticsArticle
