He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In extraordinary events ignorance of their causes produces astonishment. [Lat., Causarum ignoratio in re nova mirationem facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20402]]></link><description><![CDATA[In extraordinary events ignorance of their causes produces astonishment. [Lat., Causarum ignoratio in re nova mirationem facit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My main goal right now is the time trial at worlds and I knew that if I came here and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40265]]></link><description><![CDATA[My main goal right now is the time trial at worlds and I knew that if I came here and beat the time standard for the talent pool, then everything above and beyond was a bonus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave,  I was a king in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or ever the knightly years were gone With the old world to the grave,  I was a king in Babylon   And you were a Christian slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few things are more striking than the change which has taken place during my own lifetime in the attitude of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few things are more striking than the change which has taken place during my own lifetime in the attitude of the intelligentsia towards the spokesmen of Christian opinion. When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great wits and valours, like great states, Do sometimes sink with their own weights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great wits and valours, like great states, Do sometimes sink with their own weights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the first place, we have to stop giving up so many fouls.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things have changed throughout the state and a lot of farmers now have off-farm income. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things have changed throughout the state and a lot of farmers now have off-farm income.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47071]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have short-term memory loss, though I like to think of it as Presidential eligibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26960]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have short-term memory loss, though I like to think of it as Presidential eligibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Best Buy wants to bring customers exclusive music entertainment from their favorite artists.
