The Archbishops and Bishops

The Most Rev'd Rowan Williams
Archbishop of Canterbury
"What Alpha has to offer is a unique mixture of Christian content and Christian style. I recommend it to all the Christian family as a very special tool of evangelism."

The Most Rev'd and Rt. Hon. David Hope
Archbishop of York, England
"Alpha...a clear way into Christian faith for a wide variety of people. I warmly and heartily commend the Alpha courses."

The Most Rev'd John R W Neill, M.A.
Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough, Primate of Ireland and Metropolitan
"Alpha Courses have brought many people to a living faith in Jesus Christ, and through these courses others have found a new dimension to Christian believing and belonging. I commend Alpha as one of the most exciting ventures in evangelism and basic Christian nurture in recent years. Alpha lays foundations in Christian understanding and discipleship."

The Most Rev'd Brian Davis
Primate and Archbishop, Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia
"I recognise the value of the Alpha course in helping people explore and strengthen their faith. I warmly commend it."

The Most Rev'd R. H. Goodhew
Archbishop of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
"Alpha is well and truly established in Sydney (indeed Australia-wide). Many have found their participation life changing. I am pleased to commend it."

The Most Rev'd Michael Peers
Primate of the Anglican Church in Canada
"As I travel through many parts of Canada and the Anglican Communion, I am increasingly aware of the presence and effectiveness of Alpha as an instrument for evangelism. I am happy to commend it as one of many tools that witness to the love of God in Christ."

The Most Rev'd Adam Exner, OMI
Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver, Canada
"I sincerely believe that the Alpha approach to evangelising can and will enhance our evangelising effort. It is a tried, proven and effective method of reaching out to the fallen away and to those who do not yet believe."

The Most Rev'd B.J. Hickey
Catholic Archbishop of Perth, Western Australia
"Reports I hear about Catholic Alpha are always enthusiastically positive. Catholics find that their faith really comes alive and that they want to share it with others, especially with those who have drifted away from the faith. I am happy to encourage Catholic Alpha as a modem and effective form of evangelization."

Cardinal Thomas Williams
Archdiocese of Wellington, New Zealand
"News of Alpha has been spreading fast and many churches are becoming eager to learn more of its content and method, and what it might do in energising the life and mission of our parishes. I already know Alpha to be a remarkably effective course."

The Rt. Rev'd Nigel Mcculloch
Bishop of Wakefield, England. Chairman of the Decade of Evangelism Steering Group
"Alpha has proved itself to be an effective way of exploring faith and deepening commitment to Jesus as Lord. I commend it warmly."

The Rt. Rev'd Ambrose Griffiths O.S.B
Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, England
"This is the first time ever that the very same course is being used by every Christian church in pretty well every country in the world. That is an incredible achievement. It's very hard to think that it is anything other than a work of the Spirit in which we should rejoice."

The Rt. Rev'd Richard Chartres
Bishop of London, England
"Real education...Christian companionship...a living experience of the mystery of God. I am so grateful for Alpha courses."
