Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I support the McCartney family.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In America there are two classes of travel -- first class, and with children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59584]]></link><description><![CDATA[In America there are two classes of travel -- first class, and with children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My own recipe for world peace is a little bit of land for everyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23982]]></link><description><![CDATA[My own recipe for world peace is a little bit of land for everyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The curse of poverty has no justification in our age...The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23675]]></link><description><![CDATA[The curse of poverty has no justification in our age...The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The anti-terrorism laws are going to create a legal nightmare for the Government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29073]]></link><description><![CDATA[The anti-terrorism laws are going to create a legal nightmare for the Government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I also prepackage cheese and sausage for my homemade pizzas, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I also prepackage cheese and sausage for my homemade pizzas,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Several hard-core Star Wars fans who had tickets for the first showing actually said that when the movie finally began, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Several hard-core Star Wars fans who had tickets for the first showing actually said that when the movie finally began, they started crying.
