Biola Univerity’s Biola Connections magazine features an article on the “feminization of the church.” The article cites, among others, Touchstone senior editor Leon Podles as representing a growing concern that the contemporary church alienates men. The article examines the tendency toward worship as “love song,” the therapeutic turn in preaching, and the preponderance of “girly men pastors” (their words, not mine).
Also of interest is an address by Randy Stinson on the same subject, here on the campus of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Stinson is executive director of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) and assistant professor of gender and family studies at Southern Seminary.
