			<description><![CDATA[African American men don't need anymore "targeting" by churches than any other "group" e.g. the disabled, addicted, divorced, deaf, collegiate, teens, etc... GOd wants us to seek the "Lost" with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to provided ministry life that helps build Christ-like living among the members. If God has put any certain population/group on a ministry's heart, they should know it and follow it. It's sad and awkward when Caucasion Brethren try to minister out of dabbling interest, pity, self righteousness or self-allowed ignorance. God is always about relationship with people before "progress."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I question the need to target 'men of colour' . There have been numerous surveys taken that highlight the absence of the fatherly figure in homes, especially in homes of people of colour. A more important issue is the place and the need of the father influence in the home. Yes, there is need for more men taking active roles of leadership in churches, but there is a great need for men of colour to take responsibility within their homes. This should be the starting point.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a simple suggestion for getting black men back in church: Why don't we start doing church the way that the Lord intended. If we do that we'll get rid of many of the obstacles to Black male participation. 1) Disciple - in English apprentice men to our growing relationship in the Lord. This means no more CEO's. No more pastors as anointed kings/idols. 2) Love our neighbors esteeming others as more important - Placing more emphasis on extending the hand of God to those outside the church than building our temples or securing our prosperity. 3) Take "speak the truth in love" literally don't misinterpret it as only speaking the truth in love to those of lower ecclesiastical rank. People, especially Black men, need to be able to speak man to man out what they see. 4) Be modest - A flamboyantly dressed man in my community is either a pimp, a famous entertainer or a preacher. Our immodest dress is designed to do what? Excite the lady or model manhood for the brothers?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A very timely article indeed. As an African American female, I'm blessed enough to be part of a ministry that has an extremely large male presence. I believe it comes form my Pastor A.R. Bernard who stresses the role of male leadership by pointing out the strengths in men while acknowledging the history of Blacks in America. He does it in ways that allow the truth to be told, the whole truth. Our past does not dictate our future, that God has already determined our value. We have only to step into it by the tranformation of out thinking. Once the chains of the past can truly be left there, a people; male; female, white; black or yellow, can begin build a destiny. It's all in the journey, we get to choose how we travel there. For too long, some Black men have viewed a relationship with God as a negative. Once that lie is cast down, light can begin to build.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Men aren't attracted to participating with a congregation because they see no obvious point or benefit to attending. It should be everyone's job to create that benefit. From the male side, we need to learn that church is about giving ourselves away, not going to get. I think that's the fundamental issue here. Anytime you show up to get something (in any situation), something is wrong. -Marshall Jones Jr.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For men as for any none Christian Jesus reaches the lost where they are he does not wait until they get it right. Saying that men need to understand that the men of the bible were like themselves not perfect but it is not about you but what Christ can do through you. How He can transform those very things that you struggle with to minister to and reach some one else. Men just need to come from their experience of entering relationship with God and let the Lord do the rest.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Men, will follow only great men in Christ. If not great Leaders in Christ and for Christ. One's other options are self and other non-spirited men. The ones that truly know God need to reachout more than ever to show not only the young, but all men the correct path to follow. Become a Leader Today For The Lord, Jesus Christ Our Savior.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A much needed very good article. When I here the Term, Relavent; I get concern. It sounds like code for: What's in it for me. There is too much; "me, myself and I," amoungst Black men. The Black man must be trained to Give of himself! In Giving there is Healing. The Holy sriptures are relevant from begining to end. Either you Love The Lord Jesus are you don't! I say...., What's the matter with Jesus?! I say He's all right! It's not all about success. What does it mean for a man to gain the world.... and you don't treat the Black woman with love, dignity and respect. Where are the Black men..... To affirm The Beauty in a Black women. Where are the Black men, even from the pulpit to tell Black women you don't have to lighten Your skin. Your anoiting is in your Beautiful complextion. Where are the Black men. Or are you busy..... Fund Raising...oops I ment Pimping.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Excellent, article. I also believe if african american men can see that the bible is the success road map for their lives they would be more accepting of the teachings of Christ. They need to see themselves as Christian's with purpose. Doug Vincent www.successstartswithpassion.com]]></description>
