Overview

The essays and personal stories in HIV/AIDS & SPIRITUALITY reaffirm the centrality of love, the dignity of the human person and, above all, the need to keep thinking compassionately and theologically about the profound impact of HIV/AIDS on faith and society. Each of the contributors has opened themselves to exploring the personal, social, professional and spiritual meanings of the AIDS crisis, sometimes with moving or surprising results. The authors of these articles, presented originally at the 1996 CAPE (The Churches AIDS and related diseases Pastoral Care and Education Inc.) Conference on HIV/AIDS and Spirituality, have listened carefully to the stories of those living with the virus, their families and their carers. The insights of sociology, art history, psychology and history illuminate and challenge many of the received attitudes and ideas that shape the contemporary Christian response to HIV/AIDS. Essential reading, 'HIV/AIDS & SPIRITUALITY' homours the darkness and suffering while witnessing the joy, triumph and courage that emerge again and again in the struggle with HIV/AIDS.
