  Abstract:  Aspects from the Works of Some Contemporary Greek Orthodox Theologians considering the Protestantism’s Teaching on Church. The orthodox greek theologians Ioannis Karmiris, Nikos Nissiotis and Nikos Matsoukas, in their papers, with dogmatic competence, delimit the protestant ecclesiology of the orthodox one, they increase the theandric nature of the Church and the inseparability between the seen and the unseen aspect of that, the distinct states through grace, in the Church – the clergy (bishops, priests and deacons) and faithfulls, the intern and extern apostolic succesion, categorically pronouncing against Branch theory. They insist on pneumatologic and hristologic foundation of Church on its authority, and the objectiv (intensiv) aspect of the catholocity of Church, combating the impersonalism and they remark the lake of every progress regards the protestant conception on priesthood. Also they stand out the institutional and the sacramental aspect of Church, the importance of sacramental priesthood, the relationship Christ-Holly Ghoste-Church, the theandric constitution of the Church and the solidarity between the mistery of Church and de mistery of Christ and increase the quality of organ of salvation and infallible authority in matter of faith of the theantropic organism, as well as the hierarchic sinodal structure of Church. Church have to renew itself always in regards the human element what means not the change of traditional stucture of Church, which has revelated foundation. Church is not a simple assembly, but communion, through it been continuated Christ’s work of selvation, through Holly Ghoste, in history.
