Carl Beech: "Band of brothers"

Captain Sensible writes: Excellent, inspirational words from Carl Beech in this Premier TV interview. Carl makes the interesting point that in many cases, men don't have close friendships. If they are married, then often, their best friend is really the husband of their wife's best friend. Who they may have nothing in common with whatsoever. But men love feeling part of a "band of brothers", and where better to find true, authentic friendships and comradeship than in church - brothers standing together, shoulder-to-shoulder?
Carl also mentions all those job advertisement for youth and children's pastors that fill the pages of Christian magazines. What about a men's minister? After all, lead a child to Christ, and in 3% of cases, he or she will end up bringing their whole family. Win a woman to Christ and in 17% she will bring her whole family. Lead a man to Christ, and in 93% of cases then he will lead his whole family!
What Carl Beech doesn't say is that we should sack every church leader in the country and basically start all over.
But I will...
