(ABP) -- I am 48 years old, and I acutely feel the generational reality of being caught in the middle, betwixt the 80-year-old generation represented by my parents and the 20-year-olds represented by my children and students.

(ABP) -- The city of Atlanta has been riveted this week by sexual-coercion lawsuits filed by four young men against megachurch pastor Eddie Long, who leads a wealthy 25,000-member congregation in nearby Lithonia. It has been major news all week, even jumping to the front page of the New York Times on Sunday.
