New AIDS Initiative
The Times photograph (Part I, Nov. 24) of Vincent Chalk being welcomed back to his Orange County classroom was a Christian sermon. Love and joy flashes between the teacher with AIDS and the student who hugs him.
One hopes that self-identified Christians who claim AIDS is a curse from God have read that sermon. It clearly values love over hate. It clearly values joy over fear.
