Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63478]]></link><description><![CDATA[All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But straightway Jesus spake upto them saying, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10273]]></link><description><![CDATA[But straightway Jesus spake upto them saying, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65448]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event in the history of the Earth -- the very thing that the whole story has been about. Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God overridesat times thescreenplay ofHer starscript. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5555]]></link><description><![CDATA[God overridesat times thescreenplay ofHer starscript.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ill deede cannot bring honour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49122]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ill deede cannot bring honour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very happy.
