Publications

Part of NEAC’s mission involves the circulation of educational materials. Toward that end, we release a variety of publications, including a regular newsletter, and educational guides. We have posted PDF copies of them here for your use. You may need to download a copy of the FREE Adobe Acrobat application to view these files.

NEACtion

We regularly publish NEACtion, a newsletter containing news about NEAC, the Episcopal Church, and the world of HIV/AIDS in general. The articles from NEACtion are also published on this website. Select an issue from the menu below to download it:

Youth Ministry in the Ages of AIDS

Youth Ministry in the Ages of AIDS (2nd edition) provides information for adults about the risks that adolescents face and offers easy-to-use lessons for opening a dialogue with young people about HIV. This resource is guided by the resolutions of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church to promote abstinence and monogamy as well as to offer instruction on disease prevention through AIDS education in every congregation. It provides guidelines for educational experiences rooted in the Baptismal Covenant that can help youth feel empowered to make responsible Christian choices.

You can download a PDF of the guide, or get a free single copy for your congregation by writing Gary Williams at gwilliams@episcopalchurch.org or calling Youth Ministries at 800.334.7626, ext. 6257. Other copies are available through Episcopal Parish Services for a handling fee of $5.00. When ordering from Episcopal Parish Services, call 800.903.5544 and request item number 80-0101.
