The Church

What is the Church?
- Fr. John S. Romanides, "The Orthodox Churches on Church-State Relations and Religious Liberty": Journal of Church and Stateem>, Vol. 6, No.2 (Spring 1964), pp. 178-18. This is a particularly apposite discussion with direct bearing on all the "Christian" nonsense about both "natural law" and "religious liberty" from various groups, including some Orthodox, in the controversies surrounding the June 2015 US Supreme Court decision on gay marriage.
- Fr. Georges Florovsky, "The
Catholicity of the Church": Chapter III of the Collected Works of
Georges Florovsky, Vol. I: Bible, Church, Tradition (Büchervertriebsanstalt,
Vaduz, Europa, 1987), pp. 37-55.
- Fr. Georges Florovsky, "The
Church: Her Nature and Task": Chapter IV of the Collected Works of
Georges Florovsky, Vol. I: Bible, Church, Tradition (Büchervertriebsanstalt,
Vaduz, Europa, 1987), pp. 57-72.
- Fr. Georges Florovsky, "The
Limits of the Church": Church Quarterly Review, 1933. This article does
not seem to be included in Florovsky's Collected Works.
- Alexei Khomiakov, "The Church is One". A famous article written by a 19th century Russian theologian in response to the main claims and proposals of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, as they appeared in Orthodoxy's early modern encounters with the West.
