The Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP) is not just another Christian men’s retreat, but five days of formal male initiation. These teachings on the “mysteries” and the accompanying rituals of Passover have been met with a very strong response in recent years. Over 6,000 men have now been initiated through these rites of male initiation since they were begun in 1996…

Esta es una experiencia espiritual para hombres, no es un retiro tradicional. UMBRALES, un evento de cuatro noches y cinco días, es apropiado para todo hombre que está en la búsqueda espiritual, que ya haya comenzado algún tipo de crecimiento espiritual masculino, y que no se encuentre en medio de una reacción en contra de Dios, la gracia y la transformación. Aunque la experiencia incorpora imágenes y ritos de varias tradiciones religiosas, gozamos de nuestra herencia judeo-cristiana.
