Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're all talented.

Education ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   What are the gifts of biblical faith to the secular university? Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me make the newspapers, and I care not what is preached in the pulpit or what is enacted in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me make the newspapers, and I care not what is preached in the pulpit or what is enacted in Congress]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't walk alone.

The figure who emerged is quite unlike the Jesus of conventional piety, and even more unlike that imagined hero whom members of various causes claim as their champion. What we are so often confronted with today is a "processed" Jesus. Every element that we feel is not consonant with our "image" of him is removed, and the result is more insipid and unsatisfying than the worst of processed food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two jokes makes a perfect speech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two jokes makes a perfect speech.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23310</guid></item></channel></rss>
