Christian men flock to Washington rally Promise Keepers' 'Stand in the Gap' rally signals arrival of men's movement By DAVID BRIGGS The Associated Press WASHINGTON Ten years ago, it often took a steak cookout or a volleyball game to draw Christian men together. On Saturday, they flocked to a revival service pn the National Mall, signaling the rapid growth of the Christian men's movement.

As cheers of "Jesus, Jesus" reverberated in waves across a sea of men, organizers of the Promise Keepers said they hoped to use the rally to strengthen local movements and make small men's groups as powerful a source of bonding as church sisterhoods have tradition- ly been for women. "I dp believe it is a great movement of men iming together," said the Rev. Tim Small, 38, JSidney, Ohio, as he stared at the stage sev- hundred feet away and held the hand of 13-year-old son. "In every generation, God calls on his people to come to him. In this generation, men are fi- nally saying, 'Yes, we will acknowledge that God is our Promise Keepers founder Bill McCartney said he hopes to build on the momentum by having rallies in 18 stadiums and 19 arenas across the country next year.

Instead of charging a $60 fee, as they have for earlier stadium events, they will be free. From there, "We expect Almighty God to send us all over the world," McCartney said. It took a gruff figure such as McCartney, former football coach at the University of Colorado, and the macho trappings of a sports culture to make it OK for some men to get on their knees before God. In Promise Keepers' stadium rallies, men give "high fives" for God, throw beach balls and balance hot dogs and sodas along with hugs for one another. In this culture, they are comfortable talking about subjects men do not usually talk about, such as how to balance work and family.

Last year, more than 1 million men attended 22 stadium rallies across the country. This year, organizers gambled on the rally as the showpiece for the movement, telling men to make Washington their priority. It seemed to pay off. By The Associated Press LIMASSOL, Cyprus A fire raged through a cruise ship early Saturday as it sailed off Cyprus, sending more than 650 passengers and crew fleeing in lifeboats and helicopters. The MS Romantica, a Cypriot vessel, was carrying European tourists on a Mediterranean cruise to Port Said, Egypt.

"The boat burned like hell. We were lucky to get out alive, but I've lost everything," said the ship's photographer, a Briton who gave only the name Chris. The Cypriot ship Princessa Victoria reached the area, 65 miles off Cyprus, half an hour after picking up a distress signal and found passengers many still in pajamas already in lifeboats. Helicopters from a British base in Cyprus winched the last passengers and the captain from the deck of the blazing vessel. All 664 evacuees boarded the Victoria.
