Christian Response to AIDs

2006 Nov 18

This week's cover article on the Seattle Weekly is a surprisingly good piece on the work that World Vision is doing to help combat AIDS.

AIDS has become a poster-child popular disease that is over hyped. Sometimes it seems that every do-good pop star takes a part helping in the AIDS issue just because it gives them good publicity. My natural response is a little bit cynical.

However, AIDS genuinely is a disease that needs a compassionate response. This article gives very fair coverage of World Vision's work as they try to achieve that. The article is long, but was thought-provoking - especially to me as a Christian.
