Discussion on HIV/AIDS Epidemic & Its Impact on the Church & Society
A panel of theologians and medical professionals will discuss the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its impact on the church as well as society at a special event Wednesday, January 30, organized by the Baptist Studies Program at Emory University's Candler School of Theology. Panelists include: the Rev. Canon John L. Peterson, canon for global justice and reconciliation at Washington National Cathedral; Maria Rivas, Hispanic outreach coordinator for AID Atlanta; Randall Bailey, ITC professor of Old Testament; Deborah Lake, founder of Sankofa Way Ministries in Chicago; and Sandra Thurman, former director of the Office of National AIDS Policy at the White House. The free event will be held from 2-5 PM. at Central Presbyterian Church's Central Outreach and Advocacy Center, 201 S. Washington Street, Atlanta. "HIV/AIDS is a major health epidemic that the entire Christian church must face," says David Key, director of Baptist studies at Candler. "Baptists are no exception. Our conservative opinions on sexual matters will not shield us from its ramifications on the church as well as society." For information contact Key at 404-727-6350 or dkey@emory.edu
