As I understand it it is a benign Protestant system of teaching. It has been adapted, rightly or wrongly, by some Catholics. I think the idea is to emphasise the positive links between Christian denominations and play down the areas of division.
Some might say all roads lead to Rome.

I don't know a great deal about the Alpha program, but I first heard of it being taught in a protestant church. As I understand it, it is a course to teach the basics of the Christian faith. What that means to those who teach it is hard to determine.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.
