In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tongue prone to slander is the proof of a depraved mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51578]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tongue prone to slander is the proof of a depraved mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Auspicious Hope! in thy sweet garden grow Wreaths for each toil, a charm for every woe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Auspicious Hope! in thy sweet garden grow Wreaths for each toil, a charm for every woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2377]]></link><description><![CDATA[First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841   The [Roman] imperial coinage (which was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841   The [Roman] imperial coinage (which was regularly used as a propaganda medium... is full of the characteristic motifs of Advent and Epiphany, celebrating the blessings which the manifestation of each successive divine emperor was to bring to a waiting world. Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile.
