If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is a deliberate recreation of a new and special reality that grows from your response to life.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29654</guid></item></channel></rss>
