I read the Kurtz article want largely agree with your assessment. I didn’t read his book about Obama.
Regarding the second article - it all sounds fine, so long as it isn’t just an excuse to retreat from orthodoxy and start “welcoming” non-traditional (sexually deviant) lifestyles a la mainline Protestantism. Too often, when the media highlights someone in a Christian church doing something “different,” it’s someone who is more in line with the media’s idea of what a “good” Christian should be (ie more progressive).

Agreed, but the writer seems to be solidly doctrinal. Will have to read more of his stuff to determine.
I thought/hoped as much. But there were a few phrases in the quotations that raised a little suspicion in my mind.
