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 It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations.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".

Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle's van,  The fittest place where man can die  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11177]]></link><description><![CDATA[But whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle's van,  The fittest place where man can die   Is where he dies for man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve I saw a stable, low and very bare,   A little child in a manger.
