Jürgen Habermas, one of the contemporary world's leading political philosophers and no Christian (as far as I know) recently said this (according to Philip Jenkins:
“Christianity, and nothing else, is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of Western civilization. To this day, we have no other options [than Christianity]. We continue to nourish ourselves from this source. Everything else is postmodern chatter.”
Wow. Full marks to Jurgen!

Nice Quote.
The Alpha Course is successfully geared for postmodern believers in a postindustrial economy.
I had never thought of Alpha as being geared for the Postmodern!
:) I was a fan of Habermas when I stuided him at uni.
