The calls for evangelism are a stunning admission of failure to “preach the good news of God’s Kingdom” and now the people themselves are being blamed for Orthodox and Catholic Church failures. Outstanding.

hardly -- it is a call for "renewed evangelism".

It's not a failure that orthodoxy has, since the time of Christ, preached to and converted the Roman Empire, Celts, Germanics, Slavs, Magyars, Middle Easterners, Asians,etc

the people themselves are being blamed for Orthodox and Catholic Church failures -- the Apostolic Churches ARE the people, not just the organization. The Church is the community of believers that continue with the orthodox faith through the centuries

If you say that just the Apostolic Church has failed then how come the big numbers of disbelievers are also found among various non-Catholic groups?

how come even as 'Westernisation' spreads, the number of disbelievers increase among Hindus in india and Moslems too?
