Becoming involved through faith
Submitted by Elizabeth McKee Gore on April 1, 2008Thursday in Denver, the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church hosted a lunch for Nothing But Nets. 100 leaders of faith learned about the issue of malaria and how they might be involved in this global fight! Speakers included Bishop Warner Brown, ExxonMobil leader Dr. Ken Lindemann and national spokesperson Bishop Thomas Bickerton. The Rocky Mountain Conference has a special relationship with Angola and has hosted leaders from UMC Angola in Denver.
Lunch participants were particularly interested in the relationship between HIV/AIDS and malaria. Individuals living with HIV are extremely vulnerable to dying of malaria.
Special guests from the American Jewish Association closed the meeting with a commitment to send nets and save lives!

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for your great work! I was at the Rocky Mountain Conference in Denver in June and heard you speak. Way to go! I'd love to speak with you about how I can get involved with the UN Foundation and Climate Change; as I know that's one of your projects.
