Today we talk about the rise in extremism even within mainline Christian churches. The conversation is sparked by an article from David French, a conservative intellectual and writer. We delve into topics such as the polarization brought by Donald Trump's rise, the impact of racism and social media in religious communities, and the necessity for civility and open-mindedness in contemporary Christianity. We reflect on the nature of church divisions and the need for empathy and understanding in both religious and political spheres.
