This is a problem that infects all denominations. Far too often the Church (Catholic and Protestant) is run like a woman’s spa. It’s all lovey and warm and squishy but has nothing for men.
Do I love Jesus? You bet. Am I comfortable singing about it every service all the time? No.
This is one reason why so many men are abandoning the church and practicing their faith in private. And why so many churches are having to have women fill roles men should be in (Elders, deacons etc.)
“This is one reason why so many men are abandoning the church and practicing their faith in private.”
Is that happening? How do we know that those men are practicing their faith in private, given that it is private?
Thanks for your post. I was wondering if this spanned into non-Catholic churches too. You answered my silent query.
