Mr.Haskell claims to feel a little like Jonah, but he comes across as having all the sympathy and sincerity of one of Job's comforters.

This paragraph, in particular, strikes me as the most egregious example of his disingenuous cant : 

"I recognize that many of these liberal clergy and congregants are already experiencing the trauma of a dying church; it must be very saddening, maybe even frustrating, to hear that some researchers now claim the theological outlook they esteem is a contributing factor in their church’s death."

Dear, dear, the poor liberal clergy and congregants! 

And who says the what they are experiencing is actually the trauma of a dying church. Didn't Jesus say something along the lines of "Wherever two or more of you are gathered in my name…"

I don't believe Mr.Haskell has much concern for Christian churches of a so-called liberal theological bent, and unlike Jonah, he's excitedly preaching to the fundamentalist choir.

"Take it up with the boss." he concludes.
