Awhile back I was visiting a Presby Church that I grew up in. I brought my wife so she coud see it and I could introduce her to people I knew.

The congregation was very diminished. The choir was no more. The "pastor" was a woman. As I was leaving, I realized I was the only man in the place. It was really weird. My wife didn't feel comfortable there either. She is completely against women serving as priests, ministers, pastors etc.

Of coure, I am not affliated with the Presby church anymore; Southern Baptist.

I know you said your Church had a male pastor, but as another poster mentioned maybe the men are more inclined to attend a "traditional" Church. Or maybe the message is watered down; feminine.

Our Church does two services. Morning service is with a Praise Band. The afternoon servie is traditional; its the one I go to.

When I can, I travel 20+ miles to a Traditional Latin Mass (although it should be said that my church is negligibly like this one...)
