Prominent Christian political commentator and attorney David French will issue a call for robust civility in politics at a free presentation in Bauman Auditorium at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 1. The talk, entitled “Jesus Loves Your Political Enemies, and America Needs You to Love Them Too,†is available via a Zoom stream; those who attend in person are required to wear masks.
French is a senior editor at The Dispatch and a columnist for Time magazine. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he served as a lecturer at Cornell Law School. After law school, he practiced law with a focus on religious liberty issues.
He advises Christians not to wait for our political leaders to fix America’s drift toward bitter division and addresses the polarization and alienation metastasizing in our communities and in politics at every level, both nationally and locally. French’s most recent book is “Divided We Fall: America’s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation.”
The event is being hosted by the George Fox Civility Project, an initiative launched during the 2020-21 academic year out of concern about the polarization and alienation in political culture at every level (national, state and local). It sponsors events, publishes a newsletter and maintains a website with information about civility.
For more information, contact Civility Project director Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu.
The School of Theology and the IDEA Center have designated Nov. 1-5 as a Week of Discerning Vocation and Occupation at George Fox University.
The calling of every believer is to be a follower of Jesus (our vocation), and the means of making a living should involve the ways in which we are the best disciples possible (our occupation).
These issues will be explored meaningfully over coffee and conversation with author and Murdock senior fellow Steven Garber, who will discuss “Purpose into Practice” from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, in Hoover 103. Refreshments will be provided.
The following day, IDEA Center Director Logan Walton will present “Calling, Vocation, and Purpose: Why am I Here and Where am I Going?” The event will take place in Bauman Auditorium from 11 to 11:50 a.m. Friday, Nov. 5.
Garber’s presence is made possible by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. Spiritual Life credit is available for both events.
