| Abstract |
This report highlights 3 key points about the impact of HIV and AIDS on the worst-affected continent, Africa:
- Churches in Africa are a hidden and powerful force in tackling the HIV and AIDS crisis. They need international recognition, support and funding.
- Many churches contribute to the HIV and AIDS crisis through stigma and discrimination. Action is needed to overcome this.
- One of the single most effective areas into which churches could expand their HIV and AIDS work is preventing the virus being passed from mothers to children.

| Abstract |
This report examines what local Christian congregations are already doing to meet HIV/AIDS needs in their communities and how their contribution could be increased. We are writing primarily for those who are not HIV/AIDS specialists, particularly leaders of churches and other faith-based organizations; however, our findings also have some relevance for specialists in Christian and secular groups, including governments. We believe their interaction with Christian congregations is an important growth area in the ongoing HIV/AIDS battle.
Through quantitative and qualitative research of small sample groups, we provide an early 2005 view of the activities, prospects and mood of Christian HIV/AIDS workers (mostly part-time volunteers) in seven countries. The aim of the report is not to prescribe next steps in detail but to provide an overview that will stimulate strategic discussion during the OCMS Mission Briefing in June 2005.
