Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Texas 'redistricting' hasouted Tom Delay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/251]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Texas 'redistricting' hasouted Tom Delay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reliable office staff come in the shape of mature married women working from 9.30!.30 (inside school hours) during which they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reliable office staff come in the shape of mature married women working from 9.30!.30 (inside school hours) during which they will do more than the 9-5ers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I assume she is not sincere because if you're smart enough to be on the Supreme Court, you should be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30034]]></link><description><![CDATA[I assume she is not sincere because if you're smart enough to be on the Supreme Court, you should be smarter than the president.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46189]]></link><description><![CDATA[No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65039]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32030]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another.
