Two Business Alpha courses in Edinburgh<br />

Janice Todd<br />

Business Alpha is the Alpha course in a business /office-world<br />

context. It helps people explore the meaning of life, discover<br />

the person of Jesus <strong>and</strong> come to faith. A group of office people<br />

from across the churches in Edinburgh have run this course for<br />

several years. To date over 300 guests have attended <strong>and</strong><br />

many have experienced their dormant faith fan into flame, <strong>and</strong><br />

some guests of no faith have come to faith. Business Alpha<br />

has then helped them grow in their faith <strong>and</strong> find a church. The<br />

Business Alpha course is run very professionally - for office<br />

people, by office people <strong>and</strong> with speakers from various work<br />

backgrounds.<br />

Please do bring this course to the attention of anyone you<br />

know who works in the city who might be interested. Tell them<br />

the course is a chance to explore the meaning of life <strong>and</strong> that<br />

they can attend a Taster event with a notable speaker.<br />

In fact, there are going to be two Taster sessions for two<br />

separate but identical tracks: one Taster after work in the<br />

Holyrood Hotel, Wednesday 15th <strong>September</strong>, the other Taster<br />

at lunchtime in the Roxburghe Hotel, Thursday 16th<br />

<strong>September</strong>. The speaker at both will be Jonathan Aitken, the<br />

former Cabinet Minister in Mrs Thatcher's government who<br />

came to faith as a result of a major crisis in his life. He is a<br />

superb speaker.<br />
