HIV AIDS IN DC & THE FAITH COMMUNITY: The African American community of Washington, DC has the highest HIV AIDS infection rate in the country, with an overall rate above 3%, higher than in parts of West Africa. And among the District's black men, the infection rate is even more alarming - almost 7%. Authorities are worried that the number is even higher because so many residents who don't know they've been infected are spreading the virus. Lucky Severson spoke with religious leaders from the DC area's black churches to learn how what they are doing in their churches and communities to combat the disease.
PROFILE: FLANNERY O'CONNOR: At Wednesday's 60th annual National Book Awards ceremony a special prize was given to "The Complete Stories" of Flannery O'Connor as the best of all fiction winners in the awards' history. Considered by many as one of America's greatest writers, Flannery O'Connor's reputation as a Christian writer continues to grow even after her death in 1964. What makes her increasing popularity even more surprising in these secular times is that O'Connor was a devout Catholic, whose subject, in her words, was "the action of grace in territory held by the devil." Rafael Pi Roman examines how O'Connor's writings influenced a generation of filmmakers, musicians, and artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Bono, the Coen brothers, and Conan O'Brien.
BELIEF & PRACTICE: Following the Hajj pilgrimage, Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice. Kim Lawton looks at this 3-day festival of prayer and feasts that commemorates Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael in obedience to God, and the practice of the slaughter of a domestic animal such as a goat, sheep, lamb or camel. The immediate family eats one-third, another third is shared with the larger community of friends and relatives, and the rest is donated to the world's poor.
