This essay explores the ecclesiological methodological divide between the study of the church from a Platonic (idealist) philosophy and from an Aristotelian (realist) philosophy. In response, it examines the dynamic relationship of ecclesiality (ideal ecclesiology) and locality/contextuality (empirical ecclesiology) of the church that are closely interrelated. This essay attempts to articulate an empirical-ideal perspective of a robust corrective to ‘blue-print ecclesiology’ (Healy); while at the same time contributes an idealistic perspective to the study of the visible ecclesial gathering. To illustrate this ecclesiological framework, it attempts a re-reading of the marks of the church through the lens of the ‘preferential option of the poor’.

Neil Ormerod states, ‘The promise held out at the birth of social sciences, that they would provide an empirical means for overcoming the multiplicity of philosophical and theological stances, has proved false. In fact, the multiple approaches within the social sciences have simply reduplicated the very divisions they sought to overcome. … The methodological divisions in the social sciences point to a profound theological issue at the heart of the social sciences of which most social scientists are oblivious. Only when one realizes that not only must theology attend to the work of the social sciences, but the social sciences must also engage with theologians, can one begin not only to overcome the methodological divisions within the social sciences, but also to solve the equally difficult problem of how the two should interact. Underlying these difficulties lies one of the most profound theological mysteries, that of the interrelationship of grace and nature’: Neil Ormerod, ‘A dialectic engagement with the social sciences in an ecclesiological context’, Theological Studies, 66 (2005), p. 818.
