Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mozart is sweet sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mozart is sweet sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealism without realism is impotent.

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:   Break Thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:   Break Thou the bread of life,  Dear Lord, to me, As Thou didst break the loaves   Beside the sea; Beyond the sacred page  I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit pants for Thee,  O living word!

For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[the best, the most skillful, the most devious and the most cunning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30126]]></link><description><![CDATA[the best, the most skillful, the most devious and the most cunning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not posturing.
