Summary/Abstract: Ecclesiologic Aspects in Serghei Bulgakov and George Florovski Russian Theologians¢ Thinking. Orthodox Theology of last centuries is essential ecclesiologically. This issue was intensely debated in numerous treatises. The preoccupation for this central theological problem results doubtlessly from the fact that ecclesiology offers the doctrinaire essence of Christian confessions. Serghei Bulgakov and George Florovski affirm the supernatural reality of Church, it¢s character of mystic and sacramental organism, the foundamental inportance of charismatic hierarchy, increasing the triadologic, christologic, pneumatologic and anthropologic foundament of Church. Also they insist on Church authority and the intensive aspect of Church¢s catholicity, combating the inpersonalism. Church is Christ¢s extension in us, with His Body after Ressurection, having a theandric constitution. Christ and humanity are united in Him and with Him. After Asscension Christ remains in Church, but not passively, He esercisses His threefold activity, through visible organs.
