"Men are Miracle-Gro for a church. Put men in a church and it will grow. The men don't even have to be that committed. Mainline churches in postwar America scooped up religiously adrift me--and grew like mad as a result. But during the 1970s, the mainline turned its back on men (and all things masculine). Almost immediately mainline churches began deflating like leaky balloons--losing members and influence." - Why Men Hate Going to Church by David Murrow, p 134
