An excellent book to read about HIV/AIDS is When God's People Have HIV/Aids: An Approach to Ethics by Maria Cimperman, one of my favorite professors at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX. She was also the leader of our small group of OST students who went to Zambia in June 2006--I was fortunate to be one of those students!
Around the world, and especially in Africa and Asia, the Body of Christ is HIV+. Thousands are stricken; thousands more are orphaned or widowed because of HIV/AIDS. Outside the Church, many thousands more suffer. The heart of God breaks over such pain. What does it mean to know the heart of God in the midst of the crisis? What are the medical, social, and spiritual questions to ask as we seek to respond? This conference will offer a chance to hear remarkable brothers and sisters in Christ from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East bear witness to the presence of God in the midst of the crisis that is HIV/AIDS. We invite you to join us as we discover together how to more faithfully serve Jesus Christ in a world suffering with HIV/AIDS.
