==Controversy==
"Bulgakov's theological speculations on the Divine Wisdom (Sophiology) provoked heated discussion: they never prevailed even in France where his influence was greatest, and were eventually condemned as heretical by the Moscow Patriarchate in 1935 and by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. The "sophiology" debate has cast something of a shadow over Fr. Bulgakov's memory, but it would be hard to dispute his significance as a Christian role model for Russian intellectuals of his generation."{{<ref|1}}> [http://www.voskrese.info/spl/Xserge-bulgakov.html ''Fr. Sergius Bulgakov''] at the St. Pachomius Library</ref>
St. [[John Maximovitch]], in his book ''The Orthodox Veneration of the Virgin Mary'', devotes an entire chapter on why the sophiology of Sergius Bulgakov is [[heresy]], specifically one as destructive as [[Nestorianism]]. Speaking of those who attempt to deify the Theotokos, he wrote:
Sergei Bulgakov was an enthusiastic follower of Aleksey Khomyakov's [[ecumenism|ecumenistic]] idea of union between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Anglican church. He was one of the founders of the Anglican-Orthodox ecumenical [[Fellowship of St. Alban and St. Sergius]], which devoted itself to the establishment of such a union.
