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.<\/p>\n<p>He advises Christians not to wait for our political leaders to fix America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s drift toward bitter division. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is no policy fix for malice and misinformation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is no five-point plan for national harmony.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Instead, French says it is up to the church to build a healthier political culture, embracing people across the political spectrum, keeping the Ninth Commandment (against bearing false witness), and demonstrating love for our political enemies.<\/p>\n<p>He speaks to Christians concerned about the polarization and alienation metastasizing in our communities, and in politics at every level, both nationally and locally. French\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most recent book is &#8220;Divided We Fall: America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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).
