Here's an interesting article about the trend that most churches are populated by a majority of women. I appreciate the recognition of the problem (which I think it really is), but I don't agree with the solution most of the examples are promoting.
For example, ""We wanted it to feel like some guy's really, really cool home," albeit one with lots of high tech and a staff videographer, says David Parker, 121's associate pastor for worship and creative arts."
This seems to reflect a "Willowcreek" approach to church, which will only produce a consumerist mentality and a different problem in another 20 years. What about actually thinking through what the Church is supposed to be about and then designing what we do based on what God intended it to be, not some "really, really cool" hunting lodge, or video arcade, or any such thing.
