Communio Kościoła według Jürgena Moltmanna – od wspólnoty podstawowej po horyzont nowego stworzenia

Abstract

The communio-oriented vision of the church has a strong tradition in the evangelical theology, and so is with Jürgen Moltmann’s approach. There is a couple of layers to Moltmann’s ecclesiological project. Firstly, he provides a way of reforming the church in Germany and is convinced that the key to the process consists in reorganizing the church into small, ,,base communities”, where all members know each other; the communities, rich in charismata, are tied together by mutual care and friendship. Secondly, he sees the eschatological communio of the church over against the horizon of the new creation. As such, the church will embrace not only the saved ones, but the whole of creation as well. It is the final phase of the history of salvation when ,,God will be all in all.”
