‘Because I Care’
‘Asian Theological Reflection on HIV & AIDS’
12-16
June 2012, Malang, East Java, Indonesia
A musical concert named “Concert Plus - Because I care’ conducted by the CCA and GKJW (East Java Christian Church) in collaboration with the Narwastu Choir, successfully spread the message of the care, concern and commitment of the Church and the Community to the issue of HIV and AIDS.
The concert was held in connection with a CCA seminar-cum-writeshop on the theme ‘Asian Theological Reflection on HIV & AIDS’ that was held at Malang, East Java, Indonesia from 12-16 June 2012. Welcoming the 100 + plus audience, Rev. Dr. Henriette Hutabarat Le Bang, General Secretary CCA, said that it was a wonderful moment to come together at this Concert and at the Seminar-cum-writeshop. It reflected the commitment of the churches and all who were involved to sharing the love of Jesus in the world. The concert, was made more memorable by a “Candlelight Service” for People Living with HIV and AIDS.
The
program sought to develop the
concept of an Asian/Indonesian Theological Perspective and Cultural Reflection
on HIV & AIDS and it’s interconnectedness with the problems of gender
inequalities, persons with different sexual orientation, and the reproductive
health of women. The Seminar opened with a special liturgical service led by
Rev. Rudy Sewoyo (Chairman of GKJW), involving people living with HIV and AIDS
(PLWHA). Rev. Ponrsawan from Pattaya,
Ms. Merry, and Mr. John from GKJW read the Bible and shared their Theological
reflection through their own life-testimony. All the participants were moved
and touched by their reflections and the courage they had to share their
experiences in order to prevent it from happening to other people.
