Whence & Whither "Liberal"

In recent weeks we've heard the word "liberal" used in ways we're not accustomed to. What makes a sermon or a worship service "liberal"? How does it differ from a "conservative" sermon or worship service? What makes the person(s) designing/leading/delivering it "liberal" or "conservative"?
Do the words "liberal" or "conservative" really have any meaning at all in our day? Did they ever?
