The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to be feared lest our long quarrels about the manner of His presence cause the matter of His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7705]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to be feared lest our long quarrels about the manner of His presence cause the matter of His absence, for our want of charity to receive Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brain-washing starts in the cradle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brain-washing starts in the cradle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The screech-owl, with ill-boding cry, Portends strange things, old women say;  Stops every fool that passes by,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45339]]></link><description><![CDATA[The screech-owl, with ill-boding cry, Portends strange things, old women say;  Stops every fool that passes by,   And frights the school-boy from his play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's a really wonderful way of looking at leadership development.
