He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58823]]></link><description><![CDATA[If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29175]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is the theory that every h uman act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is the theory that every h uman act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Visits always give pleasure - if not the arrival, the departure ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Visits always give pleasure - if not the arrival, the departure]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24245]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53016]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big companies are global, and they want to integrate their systems because it is cheaper to work with a single ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30204]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big companies are global, and they want to integrate their systems because it is cheaper to work with a single telecommunications company around the world.
