Men-Only Church

DAYTONA BEACH – No hymnals. No pews. No steeple. No stained glass windows. And no women.

This ain’t your grandma’s church.

Organizers of the Church For Men say that guys are “bored stiff” in many churches today.

“We try to make it interesting for them. We meet in a gym and we talk about issues that mess men up,” said Mike Ellis, 46, the church’s founder.

The Church For Men meets one Saturday evening per month, drawing about 70 guys dressed in everything but straight-laced shirts and neckties. The service features a rock band, a shot clock to time the preacher’s message and a one-hour in-and-out guarantee.

Ellis’ church is part of a national movement to reverse what many Christian pastors and ministers are calling a troubling trend. Studies show that men are less likely than women to show up on Sunday mornings, and the reaction has been an emerging testosterone theology of sorts. Churches nationwide are now reaching out to men.

Houses made of waste

Two UK engineers plan to replace the 350 million concrete blocks manufactured in the UK each year by blocks made almost entirely of waste materials such as crushed glass, pulverized fuel ash, and bitumen, a by-product of the petrochemical industry. The ‘Bitublocks’ are about six times stronger as concrete and will not be more expensive. These eco-friendly materials should become available in about three to five years, but a house prototype should be available soon.This new material would be beneficial to the environment for two reasons. First, there will be no need for cement which generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide. And there will be no more needs to use energy to burn millions tons of waste into incinerators.
