We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A closed mouth catches no flies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12458]]></link><description><![CDATA[A closed mouth catches no flies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But his zeal None seconded, as out of season judged,  Or singular and rash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62627]]></link><description><![CDATA[But his zeal None seconded, as out of season judged,  Or singular and rash.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The same thing is happening on the barrier islands, like Longboat Key and Anna Maria, when you have a red ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The same thing is happening on the barrier islands, like Longboat Key and Anna Maria, when you have a red tide in the area, ...
