WKRN, the ABC affiliate here in Nashville (Channel 2) ran a news feature today (3/20/07) about Promise Keepers coming to the Nashville Arena. Produced by WKRN's Faith and Ethics Video Journalist Jamey Tucker, the video and story can be viewed via the viewer "Men Of Integrity Movement Plans To Visit Nashville" at Jamey Tucker's blog - Faith and Ethics.com
Jamey writes:
Promise Keepers is on a smaller scale than it was in the mid-90s when men filled up stadiums around the country to hear real men talk about God, responsibility, character and integrity. The national organization is not as large as it was back then and instead of stadiums, Promise Keepers comes to arenas where they consistently attract 15,000-25,000 men.
Back when PK started, churches pretty much ignored men in the church. Sure, some had a monthly "fellowship breakfast" with a guest speaker and pancakes, but church was absolutely geared toward women folk. PK was the first "men's movement" of this generation.
PK isn't a political rally. You'll find political conservatives and liberals arm-in-arm. Presbyterians, Methodists, Church of Christ, Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, and Orthodox all worshipping together. It's pretty cool that way.
