I think that it is telling that they chose Bob Edgar to represent 'moderate' Christians. Clearly, in this case, it's just a euphemism for 'liberal'.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. But let's call a spade a spade.
Perhaps "moderate" is an appropriate term if they meant to contrast him with extremists. We refer to Muslim extremists and moderates, after all. Extremes at either end of a spectrum can cause problems, mostly stemming from an inability to look through another's eyes. It's the height of conceit for any of us fallible humans to think that we have the only "right" answers.
