Masculinity and Spirituality

We are going to talk about gender and spirituality in class on Tuesday. Over the next few days, I'm going to put up a few videos that explore this topic. In particular, there is a rising interest in what some people are calling "fight church," which includes a new documentary.

At this point, I don't want to critique or advocate any stance on this trend. I would like to say that this demonstrates something of a crisis of masculinity within American culture. If not these voices speaking up for men, then whose voices should we be listening to?

Here are a few videos and news reports that discuss this growing trend:

Here is the official trailer for "Fight Church":
