Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a fear of being boring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4734]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a fear of being boring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3967]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. [Fr., Le premier pas, mon fils, que l'on fait dans le monde,  Est celui dont depend le reste de nos jours.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what they do to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57020]]></link><description><![CDATA[General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54282]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very clear that voice communications is moving on to the Internet.
