Should Churches Lose Their Tax Exempt Status-Campaigning From The Pulpit?
The simple phrase “All men are created equal” has been called an immortal declaration, and perhaps the single phrase of the United States Revolutionary period with the most grand continuing importance even though after 236 years there is still inequality in America.
