CANA consultation

I am about to leave for Delhi on an evening flight.

I'll spend the night with Stefan and Neeru and Ashish and probably pop in at Victor and Sarah and Joanna's in the morning.

Then I get down to business. I get to share at a consultation that the Christian National AIDS Alliance has called to develop a curriculum for teaching about HIV issues and responses in seminaries across our country. We are expecting about 30 professors and teachers for 20 odd seminaries. Amazing.

It is really exciting to be part of this effort and to think of the great potential as young leaders are being groomed in these bible colleges and seminaries. Would that this programme will not just be another course to be completed as a quick formality, but a real opportunity for men and women of God to understand what can be done - and especially to provide visionary leadership to the local church to reach out and touch people with HIV - like our Lord Jesus did - and does!

Would that our experiences that we get from the privilege of sharing in the lives of people with HIV be translated into saving and caring for the lives of many across our country.... I wish we could be worked out of this job! There will come a day, of course...
