I think that your average Western male is feeling a little aliened from culture as it is. There is alot of change, and at least the way that mainline denominations are going, with inclusive language, and female imagry for God, the average male is feeling a little dealt out of things. Not that I disapprove..... it is time for a change.... but perhaps the church is becoming the largest women's organization in the world at present. I kidded a Roman Cathloic female friend of mine, that it was time for them to start ordaining women as priests. Her reaction, "No, we can't! Then there'd be NO men in the church!!!"
