His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This tournament is my chance for me to show I deserve a starting spot and I will try and take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38513]]></link><description><![CDATA[This tournament is my chance for me to show I deserve a starting spot and I will try and take it with both hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, see the north-wind's masonry, Out of an unseen quarry evermore  Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, see the north-wind's masonry, Out of an unseen quarry evermore  Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer   Curves his white bastions with projected roof    Round every windward stake, or tree, or door.     Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work      So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he       For number or proportion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage requires a person to prepare 4 types of "Rings": Engagement Ring Wedding Ring, Suffering, Enduring ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage requires a person to prepare 4 types of "Rings": Engagement Ring Wedding Ring, Suffering, Enduring]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Funds are low again, hallelujah!

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The principles applied in economic processes are general social principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15805]]></link><description><![CDATA[The principles applied in economic processes are general social principles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farewell, good Salisbury, and good luck go with thee! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farewell, good Salisbury, and good luck go with thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9749]]></link><description><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking about education]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What though the sea be calm? trust to the shore, Ships have been drown'd, where late they danc'd before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44000</guid></item></channel></rss>
