The vocation is answered in the home and office and factory and field. There it is that the People of God bears its witness to the vocation of the People of God, a people with a people's diversity and complex vitality, a people comprising a multiplicity of cultures and histories and colours and tongues, a people and not a collection of individuals, a people bound together in allegiance to one King and in obedience to one purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most kids, once they see it once are hooked.
