		Nicky Gumbel, who was a barrister before he became an ordained Anglican Minister at the Church of Holy Trinity, Brompton, in London, does not see his work as simply reviving the struggling Church of England, but of renewing faith in Christianity generally.
		Nicky Gumbel: I think once one’s experienced the love of God revealed in Christ, inevitably one wants other people who are in a similar position to the one that I was in, to experience what we’ve experienced.
		Nicky Gumbel: I think the demographic breakdown male/female is probably similar to the church generally, and the age range is perhaps weighted towards young, certainly on our own course.

	Alpha Body
		Nicky Gumbel is good - in fact Nicky Gumbel is VERY good - and Alpha, being his creation in it's present form, is equally good.
		Gumbel is now reputed to be more influential than the Archbishop of Canterbury and HTB employs so many staff that some have to be housed in a Potakabin sited within the two-and-a-half acre grounds of the church.
		Gumbel's brainwave was to change the focus of the course away from existing Christians who needed their faith brushing up - though they are still more than welcome to attend - to those who appear to have little or no faith to begin with.

		Nicky's material is so well organized I've found that borrowing his outline for the most part (with credit given of course) only needs slight modification in order to develop powerful sermons.
		Gumbel even stresses that since this is the toughest problem for christians when they defend their faith, he will also dedicate the first chapter of the book to the issue of evil.
		But then Gumbel asserts that God is not evil; on the contrary, he is like a father testing his children, showing them that their ancestors (Adam and Eve) have been sinful, and that they must face the consequences.

	NickyGumbelsGospel
		The whole thrust of Nicky Gumbel's message focussed upon man and his problems - there was nothing said about the world and mankind as seen from God's perspective.
		There was no attempt made to likewise confront people in the Waterfront Hall with the reality of and consequences of their lost and sinful condition because the truth was that Nicky Gumbel unlike Peter in Jerusalem and Paul in Ephesus 'shunned to declare unto them all the counsel of God' [Acts 20:27].
		References also during the meeting by Nicky to Christians within a wide range of denominations including Roman Catholicism also served to demonstrate that ALPHA does not equip people to discern false 'gospels' such as the one presented in Roman Catholicism.

		In Nicky's defence, he himself merely stipulates that "it is a good idea to follow it exactly the first time around and then to see next time if there are any ways in which it could be improved" (Practicalities from Telling Others).
		It is manifest in all of Mr Gumbel's work that he regards the Catholic faith to be simply a rather traditional denomination of the true Christian Church.
		Although Gumbel stands by justification by grace through faith alone ("Paul expounds why no one can by justified by their own works, but only by grace through faith in Christ"), he supports Roman Catholicism, which utterly denies it, in fact, the Council of Trent in 1566 declared this doctrine to be ACCURSED, ANATHEMA.

		Gumbel's description of the antics that went on in the vestry of HTB after their invocation of the Spirit seems to me to bear no resemblance at all to what happened on the day of Pentecost.
		Nicky Gumbel is aware of this paradigm shift from reason to experience: "In the Enlightenment reason ruled supreme and explanation led to experience.
		Nicky Gumbel gives no indication here that he or anyone else attending that meeting tested the spirits to ensure that everything came from the Holy Spirit.

		By the time Nicky Gumbel took over Alpha in 1990, the course was a central feature of the church's life, with the number of participants regularly totalling around 100 people on each course.

		In Gumbel's words, Alpha stimulates a ''virtuous circle'' that spreads outward, allowing churches regularly to break into new networks of unchurched, unevangelized people.
