While I agree that there is a place for Liberal outreach, I do not believe that buracracy and inertia are the main barriers to having this happen. I still remember the dismay of a Reform rabbi in Milwaukee at trying to find someone to fill in for him when he went on vacation. The answer was, and I believe still is, because so little commitment is expected from them. To the extent to which Liberal Judaism is individually defined, it weakens the commitment to something greater than self.
