- Notes
- "'People with AIDS are members not only of the community of nations but also of the family of churches around the world', Archbishop [Michael] Peers said during a Pentecost service at St. James Cathedral here [in Toronto]. 'AIDS is not something that is outside the church. It is now part of the church'. Among the things that members of the church can do is reject all notions of divine judgment which interpret the HIV virus as a punishment for sin, the archbishop said." "[T]he archbishop cited the fact that there was no danger of anyone contacting AIDS through the use of the common cup in the eucharist, nor was there any risk in a physical embrace".
