AIDS: through the eyes of four children
"World Vision Experience: AIDS -- Step into Africa" brings the horrors of AIDS home through a free, interactive exhibit at First Baptist Church in Asheboro, beginning May 3.
The exhibit takes its visitors on a journey into AIDS-affected communities in Africa, as seen through the eyes of four children.
Sponsored by the church, along with the NC Zoo and Randolph Hospital, the exhibit focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa, where about 25 million people are infected with HIV, or two-thirds of the world's total.
"Step into Africa" is slated to visit 40 cities during its national tour in 2009. The Asheboro tour is open to the public, and runs 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., May 3-10, First Baptist Church Asheboro, 133 North Church Street. For information, contact Jeni Martin at 629-9191.

Interesting that now that AIDS is no longer a "gay disease," even Baptists can call it "the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time" instead of God's punishment for the sin of sodomy. This despite the fact that one in three men and 16% of women in sub-saharan Africa report having had sex with a person not a spouse and not living with them. Evidently, God doesn't punish fornication and adultery any more, as long as it's with the opposite gender.
