The purpose certainly wasn't to dismiss the conversation about truth claims. But suggesting without them the church is somehow especially week is also incorrect. This simply acknowledges that the question about whether or not the Church is good is a different conversation then whether or not the Church is true.
So many critics of the Church try to say that the Church isn't true because the Church isn't good. And often we respond by talking about why the Church is true. This focuses on the other question and presents the case that the Church is good regardless of the accuracy of its truth claims.
