A friend who is an RC joined a Presbyterian prayer group and was asked to post a flyer in our church. It is an invitation to all who are interested in study of the bible from a Christian perspective …
 
Here is a link. There are a few changes made to the Alpha program for Catholics, I think regarding Eucharist and Mary.
My understanding is that it is having a great effect on people. It includes dinner, a video, and discussion at each session. I have not attended but I have a friend who is working on one. She says they have about 50 people each week.

Ok - brand new here and I don’t want to offend, but, I just saw this alpha course poster in my church today. I was a bit suspect of it, since I had just seen the same thing advertised by a local presbyterian church. So, I came here to get a Catholic answer on what exactly this is. I read the above answer which was simply a link back to the alpha course website. I was disappointed since I was already through all of their pages and found it intentionally vague. I guess what I’m wondering is, if my Catholic church has a poster for a course which will make people ex-Catholics? Or at least, Catholics weaker in their faith? Can anyone clarify what this is? Thanks
