Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".

Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095  There are a number of Hebrew words about salvation which also mean ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095  There are a number of Hebrew words about salvation which also mean "to bring into a spacious environment", "to be at one's ease", "to be free to develop". "Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dancing days are done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11022]]></link><description><![CDATA[My dancing days are done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had always told me that I wrote like a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29701]]></link><description><![CDATA[They had always told me that I wrote like a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're going to have nights where the ball doesn't go in the basket, but if you're going to win a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37920]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're going to have nights where the ball doesn't go in the basket, but if you're going to win a championship, you've got to be solid, tough and physical defensively and I don't think we were that, especially in the last 10 minutes of that game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of the author's own personality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People need to have the ability to take care of themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39850]]></link><description><![CDATA[People need to have the ability to take care of themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am disgraced, impeached, and baffled here; Pierced to the soul with slander's venomed spear,  The which no balm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56556]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am disgraced, impeached, and baffled here; Pierced to the soul with slander's venomed spear,  The which no balm can cure but his heart-blood   Which breathed this poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all depend on Sophie to shoot the ball and score.
