Neil Chethik, author of two books about men and a former leader of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Men's Network, is offering Men/Relationship Weekends for UU congregations. The weekends include separate sessions for men and for couples plus a Sunday morning sermon.

He says, "With this array of programming, I'm able to make several unique contributions: 1) bring a message from a man that is both male-positive and pro-feminist; 2) demonstrate that the church cares not only that marriage is extended to all, but that the quality of each relationship is as fulfilling as possible, and 3) stimulate men's community-building in churches."

Chethik, a member of the UU Church of Lexington, KY, is author of VoiceMale: What Men Really Think About Their Marriages (Simon & Schuster, Jan. 2006), and FatherLoss: How Men Deal With the Deaths of Their Dads (Hyperion Books, 2001). He has appeared on both ABC's "Good Morning America" and NBC's "The Today Show" speaking about men's issues.
