<pre wrap="">I think that may be part of the point. I don't think the problem in the church is its "feminization" or its lack of appealing style for men. Of course, this plays into my bigger bugaboo, which is that the church needs to quit acting like it is marketing a product -- the church isn't a business...</pre>

Scripture defines men and women's positions in totality. Don't
deviate from it! I agree with you about a lot of churches and
marketing, and they aren't all mega-churches either. <br>
