| Posted 10/1/2001 7:25 AM (GMT -6) | | actually this may be an interesting thread to pursue....you know men do seem to take longer, struggle more deeply with coming to Christ. Why is that? is it because Christ was man? is it a male ego think? then they struggle with moving their knowledge of Christ from their heads to their hearts.....thoughts? anyone care?

Interesting...I do think that many men have intimacy issues in their own right, and then to add that they are supposed to have them most intimate relationship with the man Jesus can certainly confound things...
Of course, if this is true then gay men could potentially be the more spiritual among men. Actually, I don't doubt that at all.
But of course, we are speaking so far in terms of stereotypes, but perhaps some generalities are warranted. I personally have been charted as more feminine than masculine according some test or other, can't remember which one. Hmmm, curious about others thoughts so far...

Women: "Here am I; I am the Lord's servant, as you have spoken, so be it. (Lk, 1:38)".
But it doesn't stop there. Christ is the fulfillment of the fracture of male and female (also no Jew or Greek). And, as St. Ambrose said, "According to the flesh, there is one mother of christ; but according to faith, Christ is the fruit of all of us.""

| Posted 11/2/2001 6:06 PM (GMT -6) | | I'm not going to provide any real answer, probably b/c there isn't really one... but, I want to bring up a couple observations about men and women and the places you seem to find them...
Of course there are always exceptions, but isn't it strange to note that in Christianity, you have male preachers, ministers, rev. etc., but you have female Sunday school teachers (mostly for ages, nursery through elementary), pianists, singers, and a lot of times coordinators for various projects?
Also another example is in the professional field of music. You almost always have male conductors for the symphonies, orchestras and large ensembles, but you have females who conduct little flute choirs, or small ensembles of 6-16. Also, most of your big time professional performers are male. Composers have often times been mainly male.
These things are cultural indeed, but how long are they going to be "cultural" before we are no longer able to use this excuse? Maybe it's something w/in our male and female tendencies. I mean, you can find tons of areas in our lives where the pattern is similar. Politics is another issue. You'll have female senators etc., but never any female Presidential candidates...
Just a few observations.
