What are two names given to AIDS before it was called AIDS?
HTLA and GRID--- the difference was that a french team of doctors and an American team of doctors were both doing research using a different name for the same disease. The American doctor published first and aids became HIV.
Actually, the first name given to AIDS was "4 H disease" or the "scarlet letter H disease". This is because the first cases of the disease were found among homosexuals, Haitians, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. Later the name was changed to GRID, for Gay related immune deficiency. HTLV III was one of the first names for HIV before naming it HIV by the Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses.

What effect did the Moravian Church have on John Wesley?
The Moravian Church had a significant effect on the direction of John Wesley's spiritual development. Wesley spent two years in the American colonies as missionary, but felt that he failed in his mission to convert the Indians and deepen and regulate the religious life of the colonists. In his search for truth and meaning, Wesley did not conform to any established church, and a number of charges were brought against him in his interpretation of Scripture. He returned to Oxford depressed and beaten.
After his return, Wesley found solace in the Moravians, who were a Protestant denomination founded in Saxony in 1722. It was while attending a Moravian meeting in Aldersgate Street, London, on 24 May 1738, that John Wesley's conversion moved beyond the purely practical and theoretical to a deeper understanding. Whilst listening to a reading of the preface to Luther's commentary on Romans, Wesley felt his heart "strangely warmed"; shortly after this, he preached several enlightened sermons on salvation by faith, and God's grace "free in all, and free for all." Soon after this, he took to preaching at open-air services, wherever he was invited. After the Moravians developed some practices and policies with which he disagreed, he took his followers and developed his own society, the Methodist Society in England.

You read that HBK has been Christian since 2002 what religion if any did he follow before then?
I believe he's a "born again" Christian. He just didn't believe in god being almighty, for a time, then a switch was hit, in his mind, that said "god is almighty, and will take anyone in as a child of god." That would explain why he dosent snog the crowd anymore or make racist remarks. July 17, 2008 Shawn always believed in God, just didn't always follow God, he is a born again Christian and he has never made racist remarks.

The Kenilworth Union Church traces its roots back to the original plan of Joseph Sears for the new village of Kenilworth. Over a century ago in 1892, Kenilworth was an open land area with fewer than 300 residents. The organizing vision for the church then as now was to be a faith home that welcomes persons and families of all religious backgrounds. Kenilworth Union was founded on the principle of a community of faith that would come together in a unity of spirit to worship and serve the God we know in Jesus Christ. As such, Kenilworth Union has the distinction of being the oldest non-denominational church in the United States and an early pioneer in the ecumenical movement.
