I don't think any mainstream Modern Orthodox rabbi would be comfortable allowing parents to miss minyanim instead of working out a way for at least one of them (the father, let's me honest) to make it to shul. That's not simply a lenient opinion, but represents a way of viewing shul attendance that the more liberal world sees no problem with but anyone from YU or the right would cringe at. Of course, Rabbanit Thomas-Newborn isn't pushing for less minyan attendance, but the way that section is framed is just one example.
I'm curious what liberal tendencies shine through that would not have been agreed to by another, more mainstream Rabbi.

Got it. How about clear halachic problems being permitted due to meta Halakha? I would say that's the dividing line between OO and MO
It's a general divide, but I didn't see any of that in this book BH.
