本文利用对纽约市中国移民宗教机构（主要是基督教和佛教）的研究数据，探讨了为什么一些宗教机构比其他宗教机构更倾向于参与艾滋病毒相关工作。尽管有许多因素可能发挥作用，但我们重点关注组织对社会参与的不同看法作为解释因素。我们假设，重视社会参与（“公民”）的宗教机构比那些更注重内向的（“庇护所”）宗教机构更倾向于参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病。鉴于许多宗教机构从根本上是根据其对社会参与适当性的立场来定义的，更好地理解这一关键特征可能有助于为旨在增加宗教机构参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关工作的社区和政府组织提供信息。我们的分析表明，一些组织可能对应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病工作的挑战不太感兴趣，因为他们普遍认为教堂或寺庙不应该参与社会活动。另一方面，担心社会接受度、担心感染或缺乏能力的宗教机构——但通常拥抱社会参与——可能会更愿意在艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关工作上进行合作，因为它们压倒性的社区服务导向。
Using data from a study of Chinese immigrant religious institutions in New York City (primarily Christian and Buddhist), this paper explores why some religious institutions are more inclined than others to be involved in HIV-related work. Although numerous factors are likely to play a role, we focus on organisations’ differing views on social engagement as an explanatory factor. We hypothesise that religious institutions that value social engagement (‘civic’) will be more inclined towards HIV/AIDS involvement than those that are more inward focused (‘sanctuary’). Given that many religious institutions are fundamentally defined by their stance on the appropriateness of social engagement, better understanding of this key characteristic may help to inform community and government organisations aiming to increase religious institutions’ involvement in HIV/AIDS-related work. Our analysis suggests that some organisations may be less interested in taking on the challenges of working in HIV/AIDS because of their general view that churches or temples should not be socially engaged. On the other hand, religious institutions that have concerns about social acceptability, fear of infection or lack of capacity – but generally embrace social engagement – may be more open to partnering on HIV/AIDS-related work because of their overriding community service orientation.
