St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All plumed like estridges that with the wind Baited like eagles having lately bathed; Glittering in golden coats, like images; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55889]]></link><description><![CDATA[All plumed like estridges that with the wind Baited like eagles having lately bathed; Glittering in golden coats, like images; As full of spirit as the month of May, And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer. -King Henry IV.
