Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. 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/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is injury let me sow pardon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is injury let me sow pardon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are spending to rebuild their lives, even if they don't have a job or have lost their home.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19919]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   The principal part of faith is patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   The principal part of faith is patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where law ends, tyranny begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where law ends, tyranny begins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24315</guid></item></channel></rss>
