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[It is difficult to tell how much men's minds are conciliated by a kind manner and gentle speech. [Lat., Sed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23752]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to tell how much men's minds are conciliated by a kind manner and gentle speech. [Lat., Sed tamen difficile dictu est, quantopere conciliat animos hominum comitas affabilitasque sermonis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To create an improved new habitat in a remote area where the prairie dog can thrive without any human interference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38594]]></link><description><![CDATA[To create an improved new habitat in a remote area where the prairie dog can thrive without any human interference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20435]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one's word to Christ and the Church. a duty and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5402]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one's word to Christ and the Church. a duty and a proof of the priest's inner maturity; it is the expression of his personal dignity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5402</guid></item></channel></rss>
