Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Customer needs have an unsettling way of not staying satisfied for very long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Customer needs have an unsettling way of not staying satisfied for very long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is one of those things that cannot be bought.

But surely there is no point in trying to account for faith: the moment it is accounted for rationally, it is no longer faith. Those whose hearts are filled with the Christian spirit... are best left to proclaim the Gospel in their own words and, above all, through the example of their own lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing fails like success. •Gerald Nachman  We must believe in luck.

For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wonder if my mom just got tired of voting for North College Hill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35476]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wonder if my mom just got tired of voting for North College Hill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those vices [luxury and neglect of decent manners] are vices of men, not of the times. [Lat., Hominum sunt ista ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those vices [luxury and neglect of decent manners] are vices of men, not of the times. [Lat., Hominum sunt ista [vitia], non temporum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27564]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This song obviously has special meaning to me in more ways than one.
