Anyboy who really wants to convert should go to church at least once a week for at least two years.

Also do t least one day each week as a volunteer a Christian Charity. There are many which want unpaid helpers.

Should have to buy a bible and read at least one section each week and answer questions on it.

The present method of saying you have converted is just to hoowink the asylum system

Originally, (1970's era), if you expressed an interest in Christianity, you were usually placed with a church with a suitable support / mentoring group and then undertook an 8 week or so Alpha course, evening a week on basic tenets, with a view to entering into a CofE Confirmation class, culminating in vows before a pointy-hat Bishop.

Nowadays, these asylum seekers will be using the on-line Alpha course, Cruiser ....... given the circumstances, if there is any input from a local church, which there should be with Alpha, I wouldn't know. If you're thinking in particular of the Bibby Stckholm barge at Portland, I guess it's always possible the chaplain at the nearby HMP Verne might be involved.
