This article explores the development of Newman’s thought on the Church, throughout different phases of his long life. The article focuses, among other themes, on the nature of the Church, the important introduction to his Via Media (1877), the charismatic dimension of the ekklesia, and the respective roles of the pope, the bishops and the laity, in particular what the latter can contribute to the whole People of God. The article also seeks to delve into the question whether one can talk about ecumenism in the writings of the influential nineteenth-century English man of letters and opinion leader. The conclusion offers some final considerations on what Newman underwent during his long and meandering journey with regard to some basic tenets of his ecclesiology.

Kościół i ekumenizm w myśli Johna Henry’ego Newmana W artykule analizowana jest ewolucja myśli Newmana na temat Kościoła na różnych etapach jego długiego życia. Autor skupia się m.in. na naturze samego Kościoła, wprowadzeniu, które Newman napisał do swojego dzieła Via Media (1877), charyzmatycznym wymiarze eklezji, roli, jaką odegrali poszczególni papieże, biskupi i świeccy, a w szczególności na roli tych ostatnich w życiu całego Ludu Bożego. Przeanalizowano także kwestię, czy w pisarstwie tego wpływowego Anglika i przywódcy intelektualnego z XIX wieku odnajdziemy wątki ekumeniczne. W konkluzji autor przedstawia swoje refleksje dotyczące długiej i krętej drogi, jaką podążał Newman, formułując podstawowe założenia swojej eklezjologii.
