Church Movements Like the Church in Motion: Thoughts About the Eccessiological Identity of Church Movements

Danas smo svjedoci sve veće prisutnosti crkvenih pokreta u Crkvi. Njihova nazočnost nameće mnogobrojna pitanja: Koja je njihova uloga u Crkvi? Jesu li oni Crkvi uopće potrebni?

In the second part of the article it analysis some fundamental features of Church movements that once again express their ecclesiological identity, their critical value for the Church and the Church\u27s involvement in today\u27s world.
