from Wakefield's website biography:
Mr. Wakefield was baptized as a child at the First Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis, and at age nine attended a Baptist Bible School class that led him to choose baptism by full immersion at the age of eleven. During college he became an atheist, and did not return to church until 1980 when he went to a Christmas Eve service at King's Chapel, a Christian church in the Unitarian-Universalist denomination in Boston. He joined that church, served on its vestry and as co-chair of its adult religious education committee, and served on the national board of the Unitarian-Universalist Christian Fellowship.
Sounds like he's about as Christian as your average Unitarian.

Strange that Chaaaaawncy Mabe didn't mention that bit about Wakefield being a Unitarian.

How exactly can a Christian church be a part of the Unitarian-Universalist movement?

That's like being a Jewish synagogue within the Hindu movement.

May be true of Wakefield. Not near as familiar with him but I gather I would not like his book.

But Tony C is a very authentic and serious Christian who walks the talk.
