I blogged a day or two about 'where are the men?' Subsequently, I have read a fair amount about what puts men off church, including this from the Church Times. I have read about how churches are too girly in their décor - lavender and pink and floral and carpeted and chintzy (not really here but there you go). And then I remembered Bishop Alan's post, suggesting the above would get the men in. Certainly separates the men from the boys in my opinion.
