Toward a Baptismal Ecclesiology: Faith Content and Ecclesial Context

Authors: Archpriest John Erickson;

Toward a Baptismal Ecclesiology: Faith Content and Ecclesial Context

Abstract

This article focuses on the study of the essence and structure of the church in the context of contemporary Orthodox ecclesiology. A theological definition and dogma on the Church do not yet exist, though XIX and XX century’s theologians have made significant contributions to our understanding of the issues involved. This article analyzes the essence and influence of Eucharistic ecclesiology on the development of our understanding of the Church in the XX century, pointing out that Eucharistic ecclesiology pays little attention to making sense of baptism, which many modern Christians understand as nothing more than a ritual. We might be able to significantly supplement Eucharistic ecclesiology by making reference to the meaning of baptism as the beginning of life in the church and entrance into the Eucharistic fellowship. This article looks at baptism in both its broad and narrow contexts: as threefold submersion accompanied by the words “in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”, and as the sacral mystery of Enlightenment. Both linear and cyclical models for understanding baptism are considered, as well as various approaches to making sense of the Church’s understanding of baptism, including those of St. Cyprian, St. Basil the Great and other fathers of the Eastern Christian Church. In conclusion, an eschatological understanding of baptism emerges, as entry into the mystery of the Christian faith in the crucified and resurrected Christ. This is a reality that is integral to life and demands constant growth from Christians, but in its fullness this reality can be revealed in an eschatological perspective.

Статья посвящена изучению сущности и устройства церкви в контексте современной православной экклезиологии. Богословского определения и догмата о Церкви до сих пор не существует, но значительный вклад в осмысление этой проблемы внесли богословы XIX–XX вв. В статье анализируется сущность и влияние евхаристической экклезиологии на развитие богословского осмысления Церкви в XX в. Выявляется, что в евхаристической экклезиологии мало внимания уделяется осмыслению крещения, которое воспринимается многими современными христианами как обряд. Обращение к смыслу крещения как началу церковной жизни и вхождению в евхаристическое собрание могло бы существенно восполнить евхаристическую экклезиологию. В статье рассматривается крещение в узком и в широком смысле — как троекратное погружение в воду, сопровождаемое словами «во имя Отца и Сына и Святого Духа», и в широком смысле — как таинство Просвещения. Изучаются линей- ная и циклическая модели понимания крещения; анализируются различные подходы к осмыслению церковного понимания крещения в традиции церкви: св. Киприана, свт. Василия Великого и восточных отцов церкви. В заключение актуализируется эсхатологическое осмысление крещения как вхождения в тайну христианской веры в распятого и воскресшего Христа. Это целожизненная реальность, которая требует от христиан постоянного возрастания, но в полноте она может раскрыться в эсхатологической перспективе.
