I've only glanced at this article from the BBC, but my first thought is there are lots of leftists who could use come manliness. Maybe this would be a way to convert them.

I know multiple converts in this area, all of them under 40. They are all similar to the examples in the article.

Why would a US man need to join a Russian church?

Getting the gospel and actual salvation right is a far side more important than manliness, and so then with the correct lens in reading scripture, you’ll get the proper understanding of manliness rather than becoming a miserable tyrant.

Soup is for pussies and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a holy war? I’ll pass.

Well they won’t find manliness in the Methodist or Episcopal churches.

My son-in-law would’ve loved to join the Orthodox Church. They are attending a liturgical Mo Synod Lutheran Church as a compromise. He’s not alone in his friend group.
It is a quest for authentic maleness for sure. Manliness has so much of a pejorative meaning (which is probably part of the reason for the quest).

Read that and thought it was gay of him to even suggest that

Man, people are searching for themselves so badly.

So now there’s something wrong with the Orthodox Church?

Not at all.

I’ve been to a few Russian Orthodox services, here in Georgia and in Russia.
It’s hardcore ritualistic. It’s not a lot of preaching or homilies going on.

It is a shame what the modern Evangelicalism has become, driving people away from the gospel of justification by faith alone.
Posted on 5/25/25 at 8:26 am to LuckyTiger
Yeah. I think the ritual is part of the quest.

You won’t find a guy in cargo pants strumming a guitar and singing praise music for an hour either.

If you have dick and balls and are of a certain physical maturity, you are a man whether you believe it or not. Acting like a man in traditional Anglo culture certainly is another story.
If you still think you're a woman with dick and balls, you are mental and need to seek help.
"Toxic masculinity" is mental made-up horseshite. I would not go joining a church just because some lib woman told me I was less of a man. There's better reasons for joining a church than that.

That's a part of the problem.
One side picked rituals and the other side picked preaching and in some ways made them idols. The Church needs them both.

Let me rephrase - why would a man join a Christian church that's promising "absurd levels of manliness' ? I missed where the HRCC is doing that, but then again, I'm not Catholic.
It's a clear grift. And taking advantage of the slew of so called CHRISTIAN Churches that are non ironically flying rainbow flags which is an overt display that they've been taken over by secularism.
