That being so, you might perhaps do one or two little things, as acts of love, and also as discipline.

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[In sculpture did ever anybody call the Apollo a fancy piece?

Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The effect speakes, the tongue needes not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The effect speakes, the tongue needes not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primal duties shine aloft, like stars; The charities that soothe, and heal, and bless  Are scattered at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13078]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primal duties shine aloft, like stars; The charities that soothe, and heal, and bless  Are scattered at the feet of Man, like flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rule by patience, Laughing Water! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rule by patience, Laughing Water!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be witty is not enough.

Nothing else in the world demonstrates how real is God's love to the sinful, and how real the sin of the world is to God. And the love which comes to us through such an expression, bearing sin in all its reality, yet loving us through and beyond it, is the only love which at once forgives and regenerates the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a little country hick boy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40628]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was a little country hick boy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me an orchestra that likes its conductor and I'll show you a lousy conductor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me an orchestra that likes its conductor and I'll show you a lousy conductor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're good ...
