Theme for World AIDS Day 2007 announced
From the Church of Scotland's World Mission Council: update 30/03/2007.
Crucial to achieving universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support will be LEADERSHIP, the theme for World AIDS Day 2007 and 2008.
This is what some of the members of World AIDS Campaign’s Global Steering Committee have said to explain the importance of leadership as a theme:
Linda Hartke, Coordinator, Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance: “...By taking on the global theme of leadership for World AIDS Day, faith leaders and the communities they are a part of can help articulate a vision, build relationships and take concrete action in solidarity with all people committed to reaching universal access for HIV prevention, treatment and care.”
Deloris Dockrey, Chairperson, Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS and representative for International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS: “We are still dying! Leadership requires that we face this reality. While leadership is a strong call and can easily be embraced, I have been very disappointed with our leaders...”
World AIDS Day may not be until 1 December, but the Church of Scotland HIV / AIDS Project Group is already planning resources! We would value your input – what would be most useful for your congregation/group? Let us know at hivaids@cofscotland.org.uk
