					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phil and Jen ran our second Alpha Course on Friday night. This time we were divided into two groups. We ate a very nice meal, prepared by Ivanildo and Monica, at two tables. We watched a half-hour video about Jesus, and then we met in our small groups. There were two questions: 1. Who do you think Jesus is? 2. If you could meet Jesus walking down the street, as a person, what question would you ask Him? Everyone was pretty open to share their views. The problem was more how to close the discussion time after about 45 minutes, which is a good problem.</p>
