Russia has one of the fastest-growing rates of HIV infection in the world-80 percent from intravenous drug use-and the Church remains its only resource for fighting these diseases. Jarrett Zigon takes the reader into a Church-run treatment center where, along with self-transformational and religious approaches, he explores broader anthropological questions-of morality, ethics, what constitutes a "normal" life, and who defines it as such. Zigon argues that this rare Russian partnership between sacred and political power carries unintended consequences: even as the Church condemns the influence of globalization as the root of the problem it seeks to combat, its programs are cultivating citizen-subjects ready for self-governance and responsibility, and better attuned to a world the Church ultimately opposes.Church and social problemsRussia (Federation)Social valuesRussia (Federation)Drug addictsRehabilitationRussia (Federation)AIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsOrthodox Eastern ChurchHIV infectionsPreventionReligious aspectsOrthodox Eastern ChurchRussia (Federation)Moral conditionsRussia (Federation)Social conditions21st centuryElectronic books.Church and social problemsSocial valuesDrug addictsRehabilitationAIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsOrthodox Eastern Church.HIV infectionsPreventionReligious aspectsOrthodox Eastern Church.303.3/72094709051Zigon Jarrett519980MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463114403321HIV is God's blessing2463065UNINA
