Walt became discouraged by the kind of religion that his father presented to him.
I've heard that the Congregationalist Church had become very liberal by the time that Walt was born, but I doubt that it was so liberal as to not preach the Gospel.
I think that Walt's discouragement with the church and his interest in fantasy and magic had everything to do with the relationship he had with his father.

EMU quarterback Walt Church (Ypsilanti-Ypsilanti) was involved with most of his team's records, tying a school record with four touchdown passes and turning in the second-best single-game passing effort in history at 439 yards.
Church also accounted for two long-distance marks as he threw a screen pass to tailback Eric Powell (Park Forest, Illinois-Rich East) that went 89 yards for the longest pass play in school history.
While that Church to Powell play did not result in a touchdown, Powell was tackle at the two-yard line, Church also found junior wide receiver Jermaine Sheffield (Strongsville, Ohio-Strongsville) for an 80-yard touchdown that tied for second in the EMU record books for longest pass play.

 Thursday Theology #122 - The debate within the ELCA about HE-succession (continued)
The Gospel proclaimed in its purity and the sacraments administered according to the Gospel are alone constitutive of church.
Differences in human traditions (e.g., mass in the vernacular, marriage of clergy, fasts, observance of saints days) do not destroy the unity of the church, that is, one may or may not have mass in the vernacular and still be church.
The Episcopal Church does not believe that these practices are necessary for salvation, nor were the traditions of succession of bishops or the presidency of bishops at ordinations "for the purpose of propitiating God and earning grace" (Article XV).

 You Have Made The Commandment of God of No Effect By Your Tradition  |  Walt Hibbard    ...
In the 1984 encounter, since most of the elders in my church had never studied eschatology to any great extent, several professors from Reformed seminaries were called in by my session to respond to papers which I had written to set forth what I believed the Scriptures were teaching.
If a book was not sufficiently quoted by the Church Fathers, it was not included in the Canon.”(unquote) And therefore he would have me believe that there could be no significant difference between the teachings of the Bible and the Creeds since both were supported by the ancient oral tradition.
It was not long after this that I resigned from this small Reformed church and united with a somewhat larger Presbyterian denomination where the place of the Creeds and Confessions was recognized as only secondary standards, with the inspired, inerrant Holy Scriptures as the supreme and final authority.
