I'm in the UK so different context, but my 16 year old son became a Christian this year but finds church feminine so just dips in now and again. There is not a lot of options round here so not sure what I can do for him in that way. I appreciate you guys addressing it and hopefully solutions will soon be found for the young men.
This is why things like Latin mass and orthodox Christianity are exploding among young men
Can he try an Orthodox Church? The priest who baptized me is now serving in a Greek parish in Southampton. I am not even Greek so some things were culturally unfamiliar but I find the liturgy to be very sound theologically , and the rigors of Orthodoxy are/ can be refreshing.
@PaulaODowd I have thought about this and, there is an orthodox quite nearby but its Romanian and the info on the website appears to be in Romanian so I'm a bit nervous that we wouldn't be welcome. I guess I could see if he wants to try it and if we not welcome its just a few uncomfortable hours in church 😄We are up north so much less selection up here I imagine.
@@kazapeach9487My advice would be to try the Romanian church. They are pretty welcoming people (unless they are gypsies, not romanians).
@@kazapeach9487Hi there this is me Paula from that first comment (using my other account)yes I would be cautious to recommend I suppose, you’d have to take it easy and hopefully not get discouraged because those Romanians might have rather dubious skills of dealing with foreign inquirers. And if you want to hear something funny, I am Romanian myself. I was born there of a Baptist family but we moved to the US at age 4. We were very Protestant but at some point (I think providentially!) after a long time of rebellion against Christianity I learned from a friend about Orthodoxy and slowly studied about it, learned, attended different parishes. It is strange to be Romanian and Orthodoxy so “foreign” - I am both an outsider and feel like “returning” home! Nothing is super straightforward in life ! lol my family (parents) remain Protestant and have a lot of trauma from bad experiences of impressions of Orthodoxy in Romania (I mean it was communist times ). I lived a while with my Catholic husband in Ireland and it is there that I finally joined the Orthodox Church. So I went to a Greek church there but also tried Romanian ones there and even Russian. I have gone thru a lot of a journey , struggling with rigorism (often self-inflicted). I would say if you and your son can open mindedly try that might be cool but I would really pray that those Romanians are nice and don’t put you off! Tbh one Romanian Orthodox church was just way too ethnic when I tried attending it in California. I did most of my catechumen studies at an Antiochian church in California full of converts. Anyway I wish you and your son the best! If you ask God, in my experience, he guides you:)
Outside of continuing to look, maybe try the direct approach. You could talk to the pastor or an elder with your son - present the concern that the church is failing in this regard (diplomatically, ofc), and see if they're responsive
I pray these talks work... I pray we don't have to enact more of the past... Again.
As for women going crazy in this system, they totally do. So the fact that they can somehow navigate a “fox” vs lion”system better in some metrics is in my opinion ultimately useless.
