Church For Men Only

I can’t help but pass on these oddities on occasion. This church in Daytona Beach, Florida is a men-targeted church hoping to counter the trend of men being less likely to show up to church on Sunday. They meet in a gym, talk about men’s issues, and are out in one hour. The large time clock for basketball games is used to make sure the preacher’s message is delivered in 15 minutes or less.

Of course, some of you might appreciate your pastor being on a preaching time clock with a loud buzzer, but a church for men only? Something is wrong with this picture. To read the whole article, go here.

Yeah... I'd have a hard time going there. They don't even serve BBQ! What kind of "man's church" is that!?

Hmmm...
Intriguing...
Uber-consumeristic...
Really a church?...
(i.e. is a "single demographic assembly" best defined as a "church")

Back when I was a single guy, the last thing I'd have ever wanted was to attend a guy-only church!
