Back to popadom benadictine or whatever he's called, I suppose a message of inclusiveness could be seen as progress. I just rather doubt the sincerity of it, and I expect there are some caveats in the small print. (Subject to eventually accepting Jesus)
Every church is going to have become more liberal I feel, or it will crumble. CL represents the future type of believer in my opinion.
It's one of the big problems I have with religion. Apparently you can ignore it, live like a shit, fuck people over all your life, then just before you die "accept Jesus and get forgiven". You get the same reward as someone who has worshipped God all their life and lived as best they can. And you get a better reward than an atheist who simply cares about people but does it their own way. (That's the popular view, at least. I don't know if this statement officially changes that. I find it very unlikely.)
