Summary/Abstract: The issue of permanent genesis of the Church in the perspective of the Word of God is not an alternative to contemporary historic-redemptive understanding of the process of Church establishment but it is its widening. The thesis determined in the title has its foundation mainly in the reality of the Word of God and in a special relation of the Church and the Word, thus in the effective character of the Word of God and the action of the Holy Spirit in the Church. The expression of the constant origin of the Church out of the Word of God will be an endless God’s message to man and his answer to the Word of God in faith – in faith means communion with Christ, which finds its concrete expression in a constant dialogue with Him and in ecclesial realization of its communal (dialogic) direction. Manifestations of permanent ecclesiogenesis is also an anamnetic and participatory action of the Word, first of all in the liturgy (of the Word) and the convergence of the contents of Word of God with the deepest desires of man. The secondary manifestation is the Church’s ability to renew in the areas where she finds fulfillment and carries out her vocation (martyria, leiturgia i diakonia).
