- The data for infection by HIV/Aids is overwhelming: forty million infected, nearly 30 million dead and a possible five million new cases each year. How to move beyond denial, despair to address this mind-numbing problem? Any effort must harness the expertise of medical professionals, researchers, international and political groups. It must also include ethicists and theologians, hence the role of this book edited by Robin Gill.

- After reading John H. Morgan’s, The New Paradigm in Ministry Education, I recalled an episode from when I was fifteen years old, and once stranded at the Toronto International Airport. Bored by the long delay between flights, I decided to engage some fellow travelers in conversation. The lady who sat next to me in the waiting room seemed interesting. We chatted amiably. Just before our departure, I asked her: “And what is your line of work?” Smiling, she replied: “I am a specialist facilitator of interpersonal intimacy.” Observing my look of bewilderment, she quickly clarified: “Oh, you sweet dumb thing, it means that I ‘work’ in a brothel, as a hooker!” Embarrassed, I responded: “Thank you. But I really wouldn’t have been uncomfortable if you had simply said that in the first place.” We laughed, and went our separate ways.
