The world's biggest church grouping is urging religious leaders to examine behaviour, attitudes and actions that stigmatise people living with HIV and AIDS, while also calling on churches to adopt workplace policies inclusive of HIV-positive people.
"While the churches have been on the front line of care and support for people affected by the pandemic, many of us have also been complicit in stigmatising and marginalising people living with HIV and AIDS by our silence, our attitudes, our words and our deeds," the main governing body of the World Council of Churches said in a statement.
