Changes to Order/Title of Alpha talks

The new order for talks on Alpha: Is There More to Life than This? Who Is Jesus? Why Did Jesus Die? How Can We Have Faith? Why and How Do I Pray? Why and How Should I Read the Bible? How Does God Guide us? An Introduction to the Weekend Who Is the Holy Spirit? What Does the Holy Spirit Do? How Can I Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? How Can I Resist Evil? Why and How Should I Tell Others? Does God Heal Today? What about the Church? How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?

Alpha International has decided to change the order of two of the talks at Alpha: the Bible and Prayer. This change is now effective and permanent.

The reason for this change is because in current society most people tend to have some experience of praying (even if they have no experience of 'religion'). However, a greater number have no experience of the Bible. It would then perhaps be easier for guests to hear about prayer, before tackling how to read the Bible.

Also the titles of some of the talks have been changed.

This change will be rolled out slowly in all of our products. For those with the original Alpha course outline, it is suggested that this change be announced in future Alpha courses. There may be some confusion as our products are altered; therefore please accept our sincere apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
