Yahoo! News - AIDS Day Is Observed Around the Globe
If there is anywhere the church has dropped the ball culturally - and yet where, perhaps, the church is still doing more than other agencies - it's the response to the AIDS crisis. Today is World AIDS Day, and I hope that we as Christians will pray for healing physically and emotionally; that we'll pray for transformation in lifestyles; and that we'll pray for the dismantling of prejudices and worldviews that interfere with our ability to just see the victims of AIDS as people in need, people worth loving, people with something to offer, too. This is one of those "moral issues" - how do we treat people? what is life worth? - that needs to be addressed.
