Often women far outnumber men in our congregations. EN put some questions about this to David Murrow, author of the book Why Men Hate Going to Church.
EN: Your book highlights that far more women than men attend church. Could you give us some statistics from around the world on this?
DM: Most of my statistics come from the US, since the American church is the most studied on earth. Here in the States the typical church draws an adult crowd that’s 61% female. About a quarter of our married women attend church without their husbands on a typical weekend (the reverse is rare).
