Devex: Christians and the new age of AIDS
“…PEPFAR’s leaders have set about trying to reinvigorate the initiative’s relationship with churches and communities of faith in the countries where U.S. HIV and AIDS programs operate, while some of PEPFAR’s most influential evangelical backers still face questions about how they draw the lines between faith, science, and human rights. … Shepherd and Anita Smith were among the early voices who sought to fill that vacuum and point the church toward a more constructive approach…” (Igoe, 7/23).
