We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When autumn scatters his departing gleams, Warn'd of approaching winter, gather'd, play  The swallow-people; and toss'd wide around,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58440]]></link><description><![CDATA[When autumn scatters his departing gleams, Warn'd of approaching winter, gather'd, play  The swallow-people; and toss'd wide around,   O'er the calm sky, in convolution swift,    The feather'd eddy floats; rejoicing once,     Ere to their wintry slumbers they retire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll tell 'ya how to stay young: Hang around with older people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62543]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll tell 'ya how to stay young: Hang around with older people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55497]]></link><description><![CDATA[From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
