Phan) For example, “equality” and “equity” are not synonyms and it is imperative that we understand the fundamental difference. “Equality” seeks to level the playing field for opportunities to “get ahead” in our society by being evaluated equally for admission t...

As racial and ethnic tensions become ever more tense, even some of the progressive left are now expressing deep concern about media’s role in “fanning the flames” of racial and ethnic hostility among their fellow Americans.

(Photo: The Christian Post/Katherine T. Phan) I have decided to rush into territory where angels often fear to tread – commenting on a dispute in another faith tradition that is different than my own.  Let me state for the record that I am not a Roman Catholic.  Since the age of six and a half I have been a member of the Southern Baptist denomination and an ordained Southern Baptist minister since the age of 23.  Clearly, Baptists came out of the left-wing of the Reformation starting in S...
