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[The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not final because I'm right, I'm right because I'm final. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23505]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not final because I'm right, I'm right because I'm final.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desperation is the raw material of drastic change.

She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Paphian Queen to Cnidos made repair Across the tide to see her image there:  Then looking up and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54935]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Paphian Queen to Cnidos made repair Across the tide to see her image there:  Then looking up and round the prospect wide,   When did Praxiteles see me thus? she cried.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your self-worth goes up, your net worth goes up with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22429]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your self-worth goes up, your net worth goes up with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After my death I wish no other herald, No other speaker of my living actions, To keep mine honour from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56057]]></link><description><![CDATA[After my death I wish no other herald, No other speaker of my living actions, To keep mine honour from corruption, But such an honest chronicler as Griffith. -King Henry VIII.

He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got an invested interest in the school system having three kids in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33915]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've got an invested interest in the school system having three kids in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is the Rider that breakes youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a goal of ours all season to get back to that state championship.
