Asking a community like a church to change its core beliefs is a waste of time. They will not change.  Trying to work within the existing cultural and theological structure is pointless, at least 90% of the time, of course there are exceptions. Most churches that make a wide shift normally just split, thus so many sects of Christianity in the country.
What we need are new examples of whole scale change and not just tweeking.  It is time to invest in new experiments in being followers of Christ, not just Sunday gatherings for various styles of worship, but places to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, visit the sick and live/love out the gospel in actions not just in proclamations and doctrine.  Just do Jesus I guess would be a good rallying cry.
