Guys are Few in the Pew

I just read an interesting article concerning men in church. It was in today's issue of USA Today. It says that "women outnumber men in church attendance in every major Christian denomination, and they are 20% to 25% more likely to attend worship at least weekly." The article also mentions some innvative things that churches are doing to attract men, everything from "manly events" to changing the decor of the church. Another surprising quote from the article really made me think, "...if a child comes to Christ, 12% of the time the whole family will follow...If the mom comes, there's a 15% chance the family will. But if the man comes to church, 90% of the time the family will come along behind." Wow!
