It is not enough for the Church to be engaged with the State in healing social ills, though this is important at times. But when the world can turn around and see a group of God's people exhibiting substantial healing in the area of human relationships in their present life, then the world will take notice. Each group of Christians is, as it were, a pilot plant, showing that something can be done in the present situation, if only we begin in the right way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human, to forgive, divine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16515]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human, to forgive, divine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got the first generation of significantly educated people.

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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a fact that these perceptions lag reality -- it's not terribly uncommon for the economy to be doing better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40704]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a fact that these perceptions lag reality -- it's not terribly uncommon for the economy to be doing better and better when you get to election day, but people feel the economy's in a funk.
