Jim & Casper Go to Church – Jim Henderson on SBE

Erik Guzman March 6th, 2009

Jim Henderson bought an atheist's soul on eBay, then he took him to church. That's show-worthy enough, but Jim wasn't trying to convert this guy. He wanted to see church through the eyes of an outsider. Jim found the experience so enlightening, he started going through atheists like a bag of chips.

Join us on this edition of SBE as we talk with Jim Henderson about what he learned when he hired atheist, Matt Casper, to visit 10 churches with him and report on his reaction.

Jim Henderson is the co-founder and executive director of Off The Map and author of Jim and Casper Go to Church: Frank Conversation about Faith, Churches, and Well-Meaning Christians. Go to ThePracticingChurch.com to find out what Jim is doing with all this fancy atheist knowledge he's getting.

I read this book about 6 months ago and just loved it. The things we as Christians do on Sunday morning have a whole new meaning for me now that I have seen what it looks like thru the eyes of a non-believer.

Another project from the Jim and Casper duo – they have recently launched http://www.churchrater.com. It is a new website ran by a team including a former Pastor and a current Duke Divinity student that allows church seekers and members to rate and discuss their experiences at churches all across the country.

ChurchRater is a combination of things: it's 'Yelp' for churches where visitors can rate and discuss their experiences at church, but it's also a social network for church goers and seekers, too, a place where people can dialog about their faith and their lives.
