Weblogs: It’s a guy thing

Camassia - It’s a guy thing: "I can affirm from my own experience with churches that, indeed, evangelical churches tend to be gender-balanced while mainline churches tend to tilt towards women. And to be honest, not only do I think it’s a problem for the church, I personally don’t like it. I spent my undergrad years at an all-female college, and I don’t especially want to spend my church life in a manless environment."

(Camassia treats this topic at length, but my gut feeling is that churches which lack an appeal to [single] men neglect gospel elements that appeal to men of character -- teaching comfort more than challenge, for example.)
