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[Disgraced like a man whose own pet bites him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disgraced like a man whose own pet bites him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What if we weren't what we thought all along?

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing office, and his tongue  Sounds ever after as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing office, and his tongue  Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,   Rememb'red tolling a departing friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Partial culture runs to the ornate; extreme culture to simplicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Partial culture runs to the ornate; extreme culture to simplicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An understanding heart is everything is a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough.
