Masculinity and Spirituality Some men don't feel very welcome in churches, finding little there that speaks directly to their masculine preferences or favorite activities. Much that typically happens in churches seems somewhat feminine, focusing on caring relationships, asking men to sit quietly, or even worse, sing.
