(ABP) -- A coalition of law-enforcement, labor, policy, religious and other groups is gearing up for a major push for comprehensive immigration reform this spring. Serious behind-the-scenes efforts are underway to secure broad and bipartisan sponsorship for new immigration-reform legislation, which has been introduced in the House but not yet in the Senate. A massive rally is planned on the National Mall in Washington for March 21.
 
Opinion: What next for Baptist Christian higher education? Print E-mail

(ABP) -- I have experienced vastly different versions of Christian higher education at places ranging from Palmer Seminary in Pennsylvania, to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary during the early Al Mohler era, to Union University under the presidency of David Dockery, and now Mercer University under Bill Underwood. I have also guest-taught at schools ranging from Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary in Alberta to Evangelical Theological Faculty in Croatia to Fuller Seminary in California. Lectures have taken me to many other schools of all types. My reflections emerge from all of these experiences and from reading, and are not intended as critique or praise of any one individual or school.

(ABP) -- Thousands of Haitians were dead, millions were displaced, and Pat Robertson responded last week by saying, “Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French.’ True story. And so the devil said, ‘Okay, it’s a deal.’”
