This book "is an offering to churches and the world -- a significant and vital addition to the continuum of knowledge -- that will greatly assist churches to be effective and efficient in the struggle to overcome HIV/AIDS. It is a compilation of historical, scientific and statistical material aimed at providing churches and their partners with a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV/AIDS as well as current information to aid in collaborative efforts at answering the challenge of the disease. .... On a practical level this response is deliberately multi-faceted and interactive, encouraging churches and Christian service organizations to build and support coalitions dedicated to overcoming this epidemic". -- Preface.

A reflection on her work by the author as she retires after a long career as Africa Development Co-ordinator for the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund. "In 24 years of travelling in sub-Saharan Africa I have experiences nothing but civility and generosity from Africans". She talks about "The underlying premise of PWRDF's mission in development is that people can change. .... What I have been doing for many years is encouraging people to be future-oriented, to take risks, to challenge the status quo -- all this in Africa where Africans have a long view back over time and the future is viewed in a short-term framework. There is a dilemma that development activist like myself face constantly : we are asking people who live on the narrowest margin of survival to take risks where the only certainty is an unpredictable future". Similarly, donors must also learn to take the long view and make a long term commitment. "[P]reoccupations with concrete and preferably short-term physical results easily ignore the dynamics and human change processes that are essential for long-term sustainable development. It also ignores the fact that changes in social, political and economic structures may be needed to remove barriers to perpetual poverty and oppression. As PWRDF, we have to persuade our supporters to stay with us for many years, to see grants going to things like `capacity building', agriculture and health clinics, gender training, women's income generating projects ... for campaigns in challenging the systems and powers obstructing change".
