Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bee is enclosed, and shines preserved, in a tear of the sisters of Phaeton, so that it seems enshrined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3909]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bee is enclosed, and shines preserved, in a tear of the sisters of Phaeton, so that it seems enshrined in its own nectar. It has obtained a worthy reward for its great toils; we may suppose that the bee itself would have desired such a death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As threshing separates the wheat from the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1669]]></link><description><![CDATA[As threshing separates the wheat from the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank you for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank you for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your heart is full, you don't feel that hungry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20144]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your heart is full, you don't feel that hungry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stranger, if thou hast learned a truth which needs No school of long experience, that the world  Is full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stranger, if thou hast learned a truth which needs No school of long experience, that the world  Is full of guilt and misery, and hast seen   Enough of all its sorrows, crimes and cares,    To tire thee of it, enter this wild wood     And view the haunts of Nature.

And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the cleare we should see through it. -Jean ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the cleare we should see through it. -Jean Paul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let not a god interfere unless where a god's assistance is necessary.

So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
