Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace with a club in hand is war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every person is lined with love! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every person is lined with love!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't see major corporations abandoning their e-mail infrastructure, but they are beginning to seek outsourcing to handle things like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34610]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't see major corporations abandoning their e-mail infrastructure, but they are beginning to seek outsourcing to handle things like remote mail and calendaring, ...

This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't wait for someone to take you under their wing.
