I'm Unitarian. My pastor gave a speech to new members that there's "freedom of the pulpit, and freedom of the pew." Meaning you can disagree with the speaker or whatever they're saying.

Maybe this experience will teach him that he doesn't have to bend to authority without question. Probably not, but maybe.
