Interesting...

Captain Sensible writes: Following on from previous posts regarding the different faiths and their rates of marriage, I was interested (but sadly, not surprised) to find out that for Christian social events, it is a common occurrence to see "Female places sold out" for weeks or even months in advance, but "Male places still available" generally right up until the very night!
However, a dating site with Muslim socials, has exactly the opposite: "Males places sold out", but "Female places still available".
When is the church going to take the problem that single Christian women, uniquely, face?
Or perhaps more to the point, when are single Christian women going to stop allowing the church not to take it seriously?

Here is the very beginning of the second part of Carl Beech's interview with Christianity magazine in the UK, this month:

John Buckeridge [interviewer and editor of Christianity magazine]: One consequence of the gender imbalance in UK churches is that women struggle to find a husband who is a Christian. You’ve been working with a group of Christian singles organisations. Were you able to help them?

Carl Beech: For single women it’s a heartbreaking issue. Absolutely catastrophic. I was working with ladies who are intelligent and goodlooking who are in their 30s and 40s, with no partners available for them at all.
