Unfortunately the church has become very institutionalized and much of its "mission" is to keep it afloat in the rough waters of cultural shift. Like you say, repentance is needed, and our churches must be willing to ask and deal with the answer to the question you pose at the end, "Christians, Churches, Seminaries, Christian ministries, have you forgotten your mission?" And perhaps a more specific question needs to be asked - How have we made our existence about our own mission rather than about God's mission? Thank-you for drawing the parallels to the Church.
