Case study 2   Addressing reservations about discussing condoms by Valentina Kyei-Sarkodie Program Officer, Philip Foundation Family Life Education Project, Ghana
		"We identified a church in Suhum Kraboa Coaltar district and when we got there for a day seminar, the head pastor asked us not to talk about condoms in his chapel.  So I introduced them to only the abstinence and faithfulness bridge and surprisingly the pastor together with some of his church members could not walk on it successfully.  So I threw in a question on how we could help those who could not walk on the bridge, since we never want them to fall in the flood.  They suggested the use of condom, so I introduced them to the condom bridge and explained to them the difficulty some people encounter walking on the abstinence and faithfulness bridge and the need for those people to use condoms. "So I had the pastor walk across on both bridges and he got himself convinced on issues of condom use and explained to the congregation that they should try and stick to the abstinence and faithfulness bridge, but use the condom bridge if they have to.  Even though it is not 100% safe, it is much better than falling in the flood."
