The Rev. Ed Grant and Elder Jim Roberts of Calvary Lutheran Church in West Ashley went to see the movie last year, along with perhaps 20 others from church, and were inspired to bring its message to all the men at Calvary, they said.
Grant had a vision that this reached well beyond his church, he said. This was an opportunity to teach Christian values to and encourage self-reflection in many.
“What does it mean to be a Christian man?” he asked.
It would be nice if the churches, especially those in the Protestant mainline, finally acknowledged their role along with the rest of the culture in belittling and systematically excluding real men from their role in society and the family.
