Welcome!

This is a community forum for everyone to connect, share experiences, and discuss HIV/AIDS. In the history of MCC, HIV/AIDS remains one of the single most defining experiences of our time together. While it affected all of us in different and unique ways, its presence in our lives shaped the course of much our ministry work, and development for years. We are a different group of people than we would have been without this pandemic. We are stronger and more capable in many ways because our work with this disease. We were given an opportunity to practice "love in action" in a very real way in the world because of HIV/AIDS. It is our hope that this forum will be a healthy place to begin sharing some of the experiences and stories that have shaped our lives and ministries through HIV/AIDS. We ask that this be a safe place to share stories. That we offer each other love and compassion and that we hold a spiritual and Christian ethic in our comments.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Peace.
