I dont think the church has anything to apologize for..does it?

Apologetics is:

1. The branch of theology that is concerned with defending or proving the truth of Christian doctrines.
2. Formal argumentation in defense of something, such as a position or system.

It means you defend your self, or your ideas. The idea of "apology" for a wrongdoing came about later, an outgrowth from the original meaning.
