'The service will inspire congregations and individuals moved by the spirit and courage of those living with HIV.'
|
Flesh of our flesh is a beautifully written resource that celebrates life over death for World AIDS Day.
Flesh of our Flesh, with a service for World AIDS Day written by leading liturgist John L. Bell of the Iona Community, will inspire congregations and individuals moved by the spirit and courage of those living with HIV.
The resource contains:
a service, a reflection, a group study, HIV and the Bible, prayers and campaigning ideas, HIV in the UK and Ireland, anti-retroviral therapy, and HIV prevention: from ABC to SAVE.
There are also stories from Christian Aid partners in India, Jamaica, Ethiopia and El Salvador as well as stories from the UK and Ireland.

Canon Gideon Byamugisha was the first African priest ever to declare himself HIV positive - the first man to break what may be one of the most important barriers in Africa’s struggle against HIV.
As he attempts to address the horrendous obstacles that stigma and discrimination place in front of Africa’s HIV-positive community, he is 'not dying of AIDS', he says, 'but living through AIDS.'
