Beware of the Social Justice Buzzword "Equity," It's Not the Same Thing as "Equality"

Evangelicals are never more than right behind the culture when it comes to social justice. Whatever the progressive left does politically, the progressive left Church soon follows suit. Spearheaded by outlets such as The Gospel Coalition and the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, such leftist ideologies as "racial justice" have made deep inroads into the Evangelical Church and the movement has replaced the gospel with carnal works.

One of the up and rising buzzwords of the social justice movement is "equity." When people hear the word "equity," it's easy to conflate this with "equality." They do not mean the same thing.

What is Equality

In a nutshell, equality means treating people the same. It is equal treatment under the law, equal opportunity, etc. All people are given the same level playing ground when it comes to fairness.
