Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".

Abp. William Temple  November 7, 2001 Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble (but) his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we knocked the bastard off! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we knocked the bastard off!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy to the Toiler!--him that tills The fields with Plenty crowned;  Him with the woodman's axe that thrills  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy to the Toiler!--him that tills The fields with Plenty crowned;  Him with the woodman's axe that thrills   The wilderness profound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22562]]></link><description><![CDATA[A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22562</guid></item></channel></rss>
