Bonhoeffer offers the most charitable understanding of David French I can imagine. 
Believe it or not this was me actually trying to offer a more charitable interpretation of what has happened to French over the last several years. Legit Christians are going to recognize this tendency in themselves. I do. There but for the grace of God go I.
Any of us can become “destroyers of Christian community” in our local church when we make debatable issues like voting for Trump or wearing masks a requirement for fellowship. French just has a larger platform airing his demands.
The descent of French into whatever he has become should give us all pause to consider whether or not we’ve become little French’s in our own local church context. Do you have contempt for people in your church who see things differently than you?
Romans 14 needs to be the guiding passage in our polarized age.
On essential doctrines, unity.
On debatable matters, grace.
In all things, love.
