This section of MenWeb is devoted to issues surrounding the Promise Keepers, a nondenominational, multiracial organization committed to training
men how to be responsible to God, to their wives and children,
to their churches and to each other. The Washington Post has described
it as "a conservative Christian revival movement challenging
feminism, gay rights and major aspects of liberal society."

Promise Keepers: One Woman's Opinion, by CarolAnn Jarnagin. "I admit that Patricia Ireland has got me stumped this time. The recent Promise Keepers rally in Washington, D.C. seems to have gotten
Ms. Ireland's knickers in a serious twist. As a matter of fact, she and many
other NOW-ers seem very upset about the success of this organization."

For example, there is an article by a rabbi abouit the "minion," a gathering of 10 men. The book review column contains books on Men's Work from a Christian perspective. And there is a review of a book about gay spirituality.
