Tutu urges embracing AIDS patients as lepers warned by bishops
Desmond Tutu urged worshipers at St Martin in the Fields to embrace people living with AIDS as Jesus once touched lepers. In Boston, Greg Louganis said he will not portray himself but may act in diving scenes for his film about his AIDS memoir, after receiving the Gerry Studds Visibility Award. He spoke of gaining freedom from secrets and the event raised funds for a Boston health center. In London, Tutu echoed the call to compassion for AIDS sufferers. President Clinton faced praise for choosing church over golf as Dr Gardner Taylor criticized political moves against human rights in remarks at Howard University, as Hillary Clinton joined them.
