Ecclesiology is the study of how the Church ought to be structured, governed, etc. and how God chooses to work through the Church. Naturally, this topic leads to discussions comparing the various branches of Christianity.
My questions about the origin of Biblical infallibility and correct Biblical interpretation led me to digging deeper about the Bible. In this article I explain how the history of development of the Biblical canon and problems with sola scriptura shifted my view of the Bible from a Protestant view to a Catholic/Orthodox view.
After having studied and experienced each branch of Christianity for years (Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy), I briefly compare the differences between each branch with regards to their community, services, and theology. I then explain how I finally settled on an ecclesiological perspective I call my Fourth Perspective and how it could be conducive to the reunion of the three branches of Christianity. I make these conclusions while being open to further developments and corrections.
