We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in other areas. Visit the web page at http://www.qrd.org/qrd/www/religion/orgs/iwg/. December 6, 1995 Newsweek 251 W. 57th Street New York, N. Y. 10019-1894 Dear Editors: Thank you for your coverage of same-sex marriage, especially for mentioning the fact that there are supportive churches. The Family Research Council and other Radical Religious Right organizations would like everyone to think that homosexuality is universally condemned by people of faith and the world's religions. Of course the Family Research Council also condemns sexual minorities for promiscuity while refusing to support their monogomous relationships through the extension of marriage rights, so it is difficult for us to understand why anyone would take them seriously on any issue. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
