“Critics… labeled French, best known for his vocal opposition to Donald Trump, as liberal and divisive and accused PCA leaders of trying to cause ‘rancor and controversy’ over politics. Those critics mostly disagreed with French’s political views.” - Church Leaders
“Being mocked for believing in miracles is much easier to handle than being hated as a bigot.
