>>I think you are painting with a pretty board brush, though I certainly agree most mainline denominational churches are in fact failing man...

Of course I’m painting with a broad brush. I wasn’t writing a dissertation with studies and citations of specifics.

On the average, Christianity is failing men in this country. Christ isn’t failing them, but the churches are. And the distractions of life give them the excuse to stay away. There are exceptions, of course. My church tries very hard to keep men engaged, but most of them slip away after the service on sunday and you don’t see them again until next week. We have 50 men who are Elders and Deacons (in our non-mainline church) and they make up the majority of the men who show up for all of our men’s events.
