A relational ecclesiology in the third millennium 29 all religions are equal. Secondly, the uniqueness and superiority of the Christian Church depends on the position that Jesus alone is the savior of all people. One immediately sees that in these theological positions christology and ecclesiology are tightly interwoven.
