It's a popular course

Finding Jesus in London

Their success with the Alpha Course is amazing. It hasn't done quite as well here in the colony. Of course, with success comes trouble - as the article states, the atheists have taken it on, and there are people who call it a cult, much as they call anything a cult - AA, Al-Anon, NA, whatever. If you're being successful you have to bear the attacks, I guess...

(So should a remake of the classic Monty Python 'Upper-Class Twit of the Year' skit be done as the 'Upper-Class Christian Twit of the Year'? Nah, it would seem to bigoted...)
