Carl Beech on impact of gender imbalance in church on single women: "It’s a heartbreaking issue. Absolutely catastrophic."

Captain Sensible writes: Thanks to the anonymous for your help in flagging this up to me! I have copied your comment here:

"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."

I commend Carl Beech for his comments, and his work with the movement Christian Vision for Men. I maintain that the right course of action for all single Christian women is to give your tithes to Christian Vision for Men, and look outside of church for a believing man that will make a good husband and provider for your children. And if you are in your mid-20s, you need to do it now, before you feel the pressure of the biological clock.
The church will tell you this is wrong.
Ignore them.
You are simply being a good steward of your fertility.
Besides, look at the state of the church in this country. Church leaders are doing a poor, poor job at the moment. They need to get their own house in order before judging you on your very necessary actions.
