| Summary: | Initially, I was interested in this subject theoretically but that was the reason that encouraged me to do a small field study to verify my theoretical assumptions with practical data. In this article I describe history of the Alpha course in the Old Gertrude's church, class topics of Alpha course, progress of the course in practice, and finally I compare Rambo's Conversion process model with the Alpha course process. The basis of the study is interviews conducted with the Alpha course participants, leaders, leader's assistants, and the minister of the Old Gertrude's church. I participated in the Alpha course to understand better the process, make notes and observations that can help me understand the involved people's statements about their feelings and experiences. Levels of this model are distinguishable in the Alpha course activities. And it focuses on interaction between potential new members of the church and the church. The large number of people during the Alpha course also points to the fact that the Old Gertrude's church has successfully found a way to attract new people to church today. |
