These manuals contain six workshops and a participant handbook designed for a Christian and Muslim audience, respectively. Participants practice communication skills and learn factual information as linked to religious teachings and appropriate Bible and Quran verses. The manuals encourage open discussion about sexuality, reproductive health, and HIV in the context of faith communities. They provide a forum to clarify Christian and Muslim values around these topics, while providing accurate technical information. They are not designed to promote religion.
