Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".

"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will not be a cause for panic.
