This is quite in harmony with the intentions of the program as has been demonstrated in many prisons in England and elsewhere. After we ran the program the first time, inquiries were received, mainly, but not exclusively, from churches within our denomination. Several churches, three within our Presbytery of Oak Ridges, have started the Alpha Course as a result of observing it at St. Andrew's, Maple. It is our hope that the Alpha material will become available through our Presbytery for preview or use by all churches in our area. The Alpha course has now been adopted in thousands of churches world-wide.
Alpha is certainly worth using in our churches.
