It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exaggerated self-importance is deemed an individual fault, but a racial virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exaggerated self-importance is deemed an individual fault, but a racial virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20647</guid></item></channel></rss>
