    The Alpha Course

    I used to teach the youth version of it Quite a few years ago now though.I'm in the UK, but I lived in the US for a while, and I saw that a lot of churches were doing it. I also know a lot of folks who have been through the course, on both sides of the pond..

    blessings to you

    It would be interesting to see what results they are having over there. I think it was a really inspired idea, got people thinking about the reason for existence and life without bible bashing in the first instance.

    Hugs and blessings to you too.

    Our church offered it this past spring, and in previous years. I've noted other churches offering it as well (this is in Vancouver area, Canada). I don't know the results, but I understand it went well. Hopefully at the least, seeds have been planted.
    It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth… He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth”. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Ethics.
