More From Elton John

There's so much stigma around hiv/aids. it's a challenging issue, and the people that already have been tested and know their status find it very, very hard to disclose their status, to live with that virus, and to even seek out the kind of information they need. this experience of going to south africa a decade ago really woke me up to the scale of the hiv/aids pandemic in sub-saharan africa, how it was affecting women and their children. i haven't been able to walk away from it.

I am on my way to ghana tomorrow morning and you just need to know that this administration is very focused on doing all we can to promote economic development in this part of the world, in africa, throughout africa, north africa and sub-saharan africa.

I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-saharan africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with hiv are women.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Missionaries in the developing world waste a lot of time and money (not to mention the goodwill of non-christians) proselytizing to the needy. . . . while missionaries do many noble things at great risk to themselves, their dogmatism still spreads ignorance and death. by contrast, volunteers for secular organizations . . . do not waste . . . time telling people about the virgin birth of jesus. nor do they tell people in sub-saharan africa - where nearly four million people die from aids every year - that condom use is sinful.

I have been judged vehemently suspect of heresy, that is, of having held and believed that the sun in the centre of the universe and immoveable, and that the earth is not at the center of same, and that it does move. wishing however, to remove from the minds of your eminences and all faithful christians this vehement suspicion reasonably conceived against me, i abjure with a sincere heart and unfeigned faith, i curse and detest the said errors and heresies, and generally all and every error, heresy, and sect contrary to the holy catholic church. (quoted in shea and artigas 194)

So if a christian is touched only once a year, the touching is still worth it, and maybe on some given christmas, some quiet morning, the touch will take.
Christmas Christian Morning
He who esteems the virginia reel a bait to draw saints from their spiritual weal, and regards the quadrille as a far greater knavery than crushing his african children with slavery, since all who take part in a waltz or cotillon are mounted for hell on the devil's own pillion, who, as every true orthodox christian well knows, approaches the heart through the door of the toes.
