You have a closer connection with Alpha's home church than I do. I am glad to hear that there's some degree of open mindedness. This doesn't surprise me, based on the content of the course.
The Alpha sessions I attended were all very friendly. They seemed to be about loving spiritual seekers into accepting evangelical Christianity, in a fairly literal doctrinal sense.
The course was a few years ago now. I remember that there was an invitation to a follow-up H.S. Saturday session, but I think I didn't attend. Not sure now if I had a health problem that day, prior commitment or just why I didn't go.
Shortly after the course, I withdrew from the church where Alpha was presented. This was for reasons unrelated to the Alpha Course.
I think I'll start a new thread in Life on Earth about those church experiences.
