World AIDS Day graphic with map of the world and red ribbon.
This year the US government chose not to recognize World AIDS Day. That doesn't mean we won't. Today we come together to raise awareness of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, to honor lives lost, to witness those whose personhood was ignored, and to continue the fight for a world where AIDS no longer exists.
Update on DHS threats reported from #Worcester: I spoke with @bmietana.bsky.social at @rns.org about what we were hearing on the ground. Bottom line? DHS claims no ICE raids on churches during holidays but won’t rule it out. This is why we at council of churches sue religionnews.com/2025/11/20/v...

How do we begin to talk about the things that we are doing together, rather than counting empty seats on Sunday morning and thinking that that's a measure of the vitality of who we are? Our attention to the life of the church has to be disinvested from the numbers and the ABCs of attendance, building, and cash that continue to distract from the ways in which our congregations are showing up in the world in meaningful ways. -Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia A. Thompson, General Minister & President/CEO, UCC From her powerful "State of the Church Address" at General Synod 35.
