Conference Designed to educate and empower us to appropriately respond to those diagnosed with HIV-AIDS

An urgent note from Bill Mefford, Director, Civil and Human Rights, General Board of Church and Society.

I want to make you aware of a unique opportunity that will be occurring in Washington D.C. this September. HIV-AIDS has reached pandemic proportions, and it necessitates a calling from the church for active engagement. The United Methodist Global AIDS Fund Committee is hosting an important conference September 8-9 that will educate and empower us to appropriately respond to those diagnosed with HIV-AIDS. I hope you and members of your church will consider attending. Get complete information and register to attend at www.umc-gbcs.org/aidsconference .
