"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}}
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]].
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.
