DISTINCTION BETWEEN<br />

EQUALITY AND EQUITY (PAUL OF TARSUS)<br />

• Paul of Tarsus made a very clear conceptual<br />

distinction between Equality and Equity. In his<br />

teaching Equality is impossible in human society.<br />

• Equity is not only possible, but it is a moral necessity.<br />

• Those who are advantaged ought to relate with the<br />

disadvantaged as if they had no advantage.<br />

• The disadvantaged ought to affirm their dignity<br />

irrespective of any odds against them.<br />
