Condoms and the Church (4)
--------------------------
Dear David Patient and Dr. Tefera B. Agizew,
Many thanks for sharing your reflections.
People of all faiths and none share a deep and heartfelt belief in
the sacredness of life; indeed, that is precisely what brings so many
of us to HIV/AIDS work. As far as condoms and sexual ethics are con-
cerned, there are a wide range of beliefs about what it is appropri-
ate. These differences need to be aired and dealt with.
Whenever the subject arises, I hope we can all remember to do this as
you have, with honesty and respect, and that we can all remember our
shared motive of wishing to protect life. Even if we may have differ-
ent ideas about exactly *how* to celebrate and save life.
