The late Sam Shoemaker, an Episcopalian bishop, summed up the situation this way with the way churches are not fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ to share the Gospel with the world:
"In the Great Commission the Lord has called us to be -- like Peter -- fishers of men. We've turned the commission of Christ around so that we have become merely keepers of the aquarium."
"Occasionally, I take some fish out of your fishbowl and put them into mine, and you do the same with my bowl. But we're all tending the same fish."
That is not what the Lord told us to do!
That is not the Great Commission.....it is the Great Omission!
