2. notes that "AIDS claimed 2 million sub-Saharan Africans in 1999 - five times the total number of AIDS-related deaths in the U.S. since HIV was first identified 20 years ago⋯." Two million deaths spread out over 365 days works out to 5,479 deaths per day - every day! "The Global HIV and AIDS Epidemic, 2001," JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association 284, no. 24 (June 27, 2001): 3081 notes that in sub-Saharan Africa in 2000, 25.3 million persons were HIV infected. In 16 countries in southern and east Africa, roughly 10 percent of all persons between 15 and 49 years of age are infected. This includes seven countries in which the infection rate is 20 percent, and the country of Botswana, where the infection rate is 36 percent. The average rate of infection for all sub-Saharan African countries within this age group is 8.8 percent, nearly one person in every ten.
3. Miroslav Volf, Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation (Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1996), 16, shared something of his experience that stands as a parallel to the current situation in the United States. Upon his return to Croatia following the war there, everywhere he went in Croatia he was subjected to intense pressure to disown his previous loyalty to Yugoslavia, the country of his birth and upbringing, and an equally intense pressure for him to give his total "love and loyalty" to Croatia alone. This, of course, meant that he would have to take a new position over against Bosnians, Serbs, Macedonians, and other former Yugoslavians who previously had been his friends and fellow citizens.

In a similar case, Miss Lillian Keyes, a member of First New Testament Church in Los Angeles, went as an independent Apostolic Faith missionary to China in August 1908. When, in 1910, she applied to serve with the Presbyterian Church while she was on the field, she was required to make the following promise in order to be considered. "I promise not to teach that the gift of tongues is an essential mark of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and not to urge believers to seek the gift of tongues in preference to other gifts in connection with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because it is contrary to my belief. I do not believe in urging believers to seek any gifts, only God, believing that the Holy Spirit gives unto us according to His will, and such gifts as he would have us have."

Killie, Chairman, Executive Committee, to Members of the Executive Committee, The North China Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., Paotingfu, China, January 14, 1910, 1-2, on file in the Collection of the Department of History, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), 425 Lombard St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Basis, World Council of Churches: Yearbook 2001 (Geneva, Switzerland: WCC Publications, 2001), 86. This is what is considered to be a "lowest common denominator" statement. The question to be asked is, "Is it really a 'lowest common denominator' statement?" and if it is, "What more do Pentecostals ask of their own members that makes their bases more than merely 'lowest common denominator' bases?"
