Christian Vision for Men (CVM) is an organisation seeking to help men be Christians in an increasingly pressurised world where gender identity seems under attack and men in church can be a minority. It seeks to help men understand what it means to be ‘brothers in Christ’ and to help churches to be welcoming to men. (It goes without saying that churches should be welcoming to all, but sometimes the higher ratio of women to men in churches makes it harder for men to feel comfortable in a church setting.)
Paul Gask is the guest speaker at a meeting in Barnsley on Saturday 18th June entitled ‘Winning Men’. It looks at reasons why men can be put off church, the benefits of men’s groups and other topical issues. The event starts with a free BBQ at 5 p.m. and the meeting itself starts at 7 p.m. at Hope House Church on Wellington Street, Barnsley. Places have to be booked by phoning 01226 211011 or emailing admin@hopehousechurch.org.uk. Or see Garry – it would be great to have a group of men going along to this and finding out more.
