Who Needs Men in Church?

[Pilgrim]

Thank you, PrairieMom and Zubr, for sharing your stories.  My own father, a Dutch Reformed Protestant, was very involved with his church as both a deacon and an elder.  Yet I would not call him a deeply spiritual man.  I love him dearly and he is one of the most honest and decent men I have ever known, but he didn't exactly set a good example of spirituality for me.
