Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can keep from a child all knowledge of earlier myths, but we cannot take from him the need for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43603]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can keep from a child all knowledge of earlier myths, but we cannot take from him the need for mythology]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little.

It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very anxious not to fall into archaism or "literary" diction.
