Rogue Saints: Spirituality for Good-Hearted Heathens

The world is full of good-hearted heathens, those who love people and those who want to do good in the world. They're not against Godâ they just have little use for church. Church is boring and hypocritical. Â Plus, who wants to sit through a sermon every week? But while organized religion doesn't appeal to them, these heathens long for a connection to something bigger than themselves: meaning, community, mission.

Pastor Jerry Herships leads a church-ish community full of good-hearted heathens. They may not love church, but they love sitting around a bar talking about what really matters and doing some good for their city's poorest residents. Herships takes that experience and absolves other former churchgoers of their guilt. No, you don't have to go to church to love and serve God. Yes, God still loves you and wants to help you love the world.
