What is Alpha?

Alpha is a parish tool for evangelisation where everyone is welcome. The same Alpha content is run all over the world, by Christians of all traditions, sharing the good news of Jesus. Each session has three key ingredients:

おもてなし

食事をしながら直接会う場合でも、事実上お茶を飲む場合でも、すべてのセッションは、つながり、リラックスし、友情を築く時間から始まります。一緒に食べ物を食べることで、人々がより深いレベルでつながり、人生を共有するためのスペースが生まれます.

トーク

アルファトークは、あらゆる分野の人々を引き付け、会話を刺激するように設計されています。彼らは人生と信仰の大きな問題を探求し、キリスト教の信念の基本を解き明かし、「イエスは誰ですか?」、「なぜ、どのように祈るのですか?」などの質問に答えます。そして「神はどのように私たちを導きますか?」

討論

話し合いの時間は、人々が話に応え、他の人から話を聞き、正直で友好的でオープンな環境で自分の視点に貢献する機会です。

Alpha offers a very human, nonthreatening door for everyone to enter. I encourage people to try this model of evangelisation.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle,
Archbishop of Manila

Alpha is not a silver bullet; it’s a tool. When used as part of a larger pastoral strategy, it is the best tool that I’ve found for jump-starting and sustaining parish renewal.

Fr James Mallon,
Author and founder of Divine Renovation

We have lost the art of evangelising those who don’t know the gospel at all. Alpha is re-training us how to do that.

Doctor Mary Healy,
Professor of Sacred Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit
