Why Are More Young Men Attending Church in Norway?

“So far, this new trend is unexplained. Even pastors on the ground don’t know why men are joining. What seems to be clear is that young men across the West are looking for something. Less clear is what they’re looking for.” - Breakpoint

OK, Church of Norway isn't my cup of tea, or plate of lutefisk, but good news nonetheless. I started my journey to Christ at a United Methodist church. I wonder if it has something to do with young people realizing that with Russia invading Ukraine (and threatening everybody else), their mandatory military service may not be a mere exercise they're going through.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
