"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose."
Philippians Chapter 2
Verses 1 to 3 (NIV)

The Alpha Course is currently running in nearly 29,000 venues around the world. It began as an idea 20 years ago and was designed as a means of presenting the basic principles of the Christian faith in a relaxed and informal setting.
There is a light meal followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. The talks address such questions as 'Who is Jesus?', 'Making sense of the Bible?' and 'Why and how do I pray?' Other questions are openly and freely discussed in smaller groups. Typical questions include 'What about other religions?'; 'What about suffering?', and so on. All questions are addressed courteously and thoughtfully.
There is no pressure, and no one is 'pestered' if they choose not to continue with the course.
There is also a day away at a local conference facility during which the subject of the Holy Spirit is addressed. |
