This book examines the responses of African Initiated Churches to
HIV in Zimbabwe. It describes the changing attitudes of African
Initiated Churches to the pandemic, exploring the adjustments that
have been undertaken to both doctrine and practice within the
movement. The contributors show how the rigidity that often
characterizes African Initiated Churches (such as opposing the use
of condoms, insisting on polygamy and insisting exclusively on
faith healing) have gradually given way to more constructive
approaches to HIV and AIDS .
