ALPHA is a tool to introduce people to an initial proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ--the kerygma. As Pope Francis says, "Nothing is more solid, profound, secure, meaningful, and wisdom-filled than that initial proclamation." (EG, 165)
"One of the advantages of ALPHA is that it focuses on the kerygma. In the ancient church there was a clear distinction between the kerygma and the Didache, the catechesis. The kerygma was the starting point of faith, and the catechesis had to form the faith, but faith in itself blossoms only by hearing the kerygma." ~Fr. Raniero Cantalamesa (Preacher to the Papal Household) |
