In the Dec. 22 ABP story “Underwood closes Baylor tenure urging grads to challenge 'prevailing orthodoxy,'” please clarify the 5th paragraph by replacing it with the following:
Underwood, president-elect of Mercer University, used his final address at Baylor to underscore themes of individual liberty of conscience and academic freedom — ideals many Baylor observers viewed Underwood as championing during the last turbulent years of Robert Sloan's tenure as university president. Those same issues also appear on the front burner at Mercer, after the Georgia Baptist Convention recently cut ties with the university.
In the Dec. 20 ABP story “Will Katrina-inspired compassion change long-term poverty fight?” please update the donation amount in the last sentence of the 8th paragraph. The sentence should read: The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship has received $1.1 million.
