Men are often redundant in society today and also in the Church. It's a good thing to highlight activities for men.<br /><br />When men are alone with men, they share differently and socialise differently. Women have their groups, men need theirs too. That's why it's important to have a separate apologetics group for them.<br /><br />As for the women: many are involved in prayer groups, nfp training, catechesis, etc. Also a Bible Study group has recently started up for both men and women which I haven't blogged about because I forgot my camera. Husbands and wives, individual men and individual women attend this. It is very heartening.<br /><br />And the RCIA group consists of men and women eager to learn more about the faith.<br /><br />It is very interesting to see, in this parish, how men and women adopt distinctive roles. And I think this is quite proper.<br /><br />(Just saying!)Father John Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581732723849634398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845239886251312993.post-47531726628719249452010-09-25T12:54:29.535-07:002010-09-25T12:54:29.535-07:00And the women are doing what?

Baking cookies and making felt banners and doing the altar cloths will the "smart men" are the only ones learning to defend the faith, or do the women get to learn this too?<br /><br />Just saying!<br /><br />[You'd need a separate apologetics group why?]gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.com
