metadata.value: The paper analyzes the approach of St Porphyry Kavsokalivit to ecclesiological issues,
  in particular his central statement, “The Church is eternal and uncreated”. An
  attempt to determine the origins and logical justification of this concept is made.
  The emergence of St Porphyry’s unusual theological formula relates to the literal
  interpretation of the New Testament metaphor of the Church as the Body of Christ
  (Eph 1:23, 1 Cor 12). A specific feature of St Porphyry’s ecclesiological discourse
  is the affirmation of sameness of the Church and Christ, the Church and God, the
  Church and the Holy Trinity. The relationship of his theological ideas with the ecclesiological
  constructions of some Christian writers (St Epiphanius of Cyprus) is also
  shown. Along with the original approach from a theological point of view, St Porphyry
  Kavsokalivit is quite traditional when he talks about the Church in practical
  terms, about its significance for salvation and the canonical structure of Christianity.
  The St Porphyry’s idea of Church is more mystical than theological. His thought
  is based not on rationalization, but on a subjective experience of the “churchness”.
  Given the dogmatic uncertainty in ecclesiology in the Orthodox Church, the contradictory
  and unusual concept of the eternal and uncreated Church of St Porphyry
  can be qualified as a private theological opinion.
