Eggs, bacon, and God : successful men’s breakfasts and male spirituality

Abstract

This qualitative research study explores the hypothesis that men's breakfasts can be a transformational opportunity in the lives of men by providing a space for relationship building, fellowship, spiritual growth and outreach. This research investigates the elements that lead to successful men's breakfasts by interviewing participants from two longstanding parish breakfasts in the Halifax region. Using grounded theory and the results of the investigation, the study identifies themes from the data, issues for the Church, and proposes elements for an effective men’s breakfast ministry.
