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['T is my vocation, Hal; 't is no sin for a man to labour in his vocation. -King Henry IV. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55838]]></link><description><![CDATA['T is my vocation, Hal; 't is no sin for a man to labour in his vocation. -King Henry IV.

There should be no real conflict between science, which is the search for truth, and Christ's teachings, which I hold to be truth itself.

If we put a fraction of that energy into how we present ourselves to ourselves on the mental and emotional levels, we can greatly reduce anxiety and increase our vitality. -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's helpful that I was an athletic director (at Lutheran before John Ragland took over last year).
