Doesn't the Church ALWAYS "speak for us"? Sounds like cafeteria Protestantism there - religion is there to pick and choose. Perhaps he means the congregation they attend. However, the suggestion of relativism in religion there may be significant. He only believed part of the message, that which fit his agenda and interests. In Chicago those were different than his political needs in Washington now. So Reverend Wackodoodle goes under the bus as they search for a denomination that fits his political needs, interests, and relativism. Maybe he should just become Episcopalian and then it won't matter anyway. He'll be free to make up his own theology and beliefs.
