Kretzschmar, Louise; Snyman, Desiree Feminists have researched the link between gender and HIV/AIDS and shown that women are not always morally responsible for being HIV-positive. This article contributes to the debate by presenting a systematic discussion of women’s experience of HIV/AIDS and spirituality. It offers a model of full humanity that interprets the links between HIV/AIDS, poverty, and gender and uses feminist spirituality as a resource for transformed healing. The model was developed by weaving together the interpreted experiences of black, HIV-positive women participants with the teachings of feminist Christian spirituality. This research study shows that in responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, it is necessary to adopt an integrative, multifaceted and holistic approach that embodies the gender perspective so that the fully human spirituality of people and women in particular, is enhanced.

The need for both moral integrity and character (with respect to perception, intention and virtue) and ethical consensus are extensively discussed. The importance of ethical dialogue, as a means of reaching moral consensus, and the contribution of public theology (particularly Christian theology) are assessed. Finally, vital issues relating to business ethics management and education are outlined and some practical possibilities suggested.

Attention is first given to the debate concerning the historical association between the English Baptists and the Anabaptists. Then the question of the theological indebtedness of the English Baptists (and thereby the South African Baptists) is raised. Finally attention is given to the contemporary implications of this heritage for South African Baptists.

A dialogue with Secular and African Spirituality from the perspective of Christian Spirituality is embarked upon with reference to spiritual and moral paradigms, personal moral character and moral agency within communities. I seek to evaluate both the strengths and weaknesses of these three spiritualities and to identify what they can learn from one another in the task of effecting moral renewal in South Africa.
