Written by GussChristian organizers on Thursday announced plans for a “sacred gathering of men” in Washington, D.C., in October, almost 10 years to the day after the group Promise Keepers conducted one of the largest rallies in the city’s history.
Organizers say the 2007 “Stand in the Gap” (SITG) rally will differ from the 1997 gathering of the same name sponsored by the non-denominational Promise Keepers. The 2007 event, sponsored by the National Coalition of Men’s Ministries is expected to attract about a fourth of the crowd that gathered in 1997 and will focus on “interactive elements” rather than Christian speakers and bands.
The Promise Keepers drew more than one million men to the National Mall on Oct. 4, 1997. Organizers of the 2007 event were able to obtain a permit for only 250,000 due to portions of the Mall being closed for repair in the fall.

I know a woman whose marriage was saved by her husband attending a Promise Keepers gathering. No women allowed and it’s supposed to be very inspirational for men.
