French Friday - Buckets of Evangelicals

Published: Sept. 24, 2021, 7:09 p.m.

Senior editor of The Dispatch and constitutional attorney, David French, and Holy Post co-host, Skye Jethani, discuss why the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention should waive their attorney-client privilege in the ongoing abuse investigation. Then, French explains why the increase in self-identified evangelicals between 2016 and 2020 isn\u2019t good news, and why he now puts \u201cevangelicals\u201d in three different buckets. Finally, they examine claims from some neo-fundamentalists that empathy is a sin. French says the problem in America isn\u2019t too much empathy, but selective empathy.
