some time i ask myself this Question:Is the Christian God a sexist woman? [b]almost all the Christian unions of the many churches I visited here in our Country and Abroad. Predominantly my experience has been in Anglican and Baptist churches here in Nigeria however visits to other denominations and countries have had similar demographics. According to Christian Research, male membership of churches is are about 42% and While the Female will be 58%. This would mean there being nearly twice as many females as males in church. Throughout the the whole world ,membership of churches is mostly filled up with women, when you talk about the (Catholics). From my experience it’s also interesting to note the difference is also greater in predominantly working class churches I don’t know if this is a general trend? From my own experience the majority of my friends who have converted to Christianity rather than have been a Christian all there life tend to exhibit more than an average amount of female traits. By this I mean they are more openly emotional and willing to talk about their feelings as well as often having a large number of female friends. I don’t know if this is just my experience? All of this seems quite weird and hard to explain (to continue this thread you have to assume Christianity at least largely true). Some people would argue that actually there are not more male than female Christians particularly as “It is hard to tell who is a Christian and who is not and who are we to judge and who actually knows the dividing line where you become a Christian” and it is” very possible that typical male characteristics lead them to be less likely to want to attend a church meeting regularly than women even though they may be just as much a Christian”. It seems to me however that the first of these arguments is very vague and in no way satisfactory and the second is probably true however seems unlikely to account for the large difference in male to female church attendance.[/b] |
