Church for Men---Where are all the men?

From ChurchForMen.com:
You’re not just imagining it: Christianity is short on men. Here are the facts:

The typical U.S. Congregation draws an adult crowd that’s 61% female, 39% male. This gender gap shows up in all age categories.

On any given Sunday there are 13 million more adult women than men in America’s churches.

This Sunday almost 25 percent of married, churchgoing women will worship without their husbands.

Midweek activities often draw 70 to 80 percent female participants.

The majority of church employees are women (except for ordained clergy, who are overwhelmingly male).

As many as 90 percent of the boys who are being raised in church will abandon it by their 20th birthday. Many of these boys will never return.
