Subject: IWG Adamo letter Date: Sun, 4 Feb 1996 21:05:35 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Purdom The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 2 congregations, 4 religious organizations and 20 clergy from 9 denominations. If you are in the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths are welcome. We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in other areas. Visit the web page at http://www.libertynet.org/~iwg/ February 4, 1996 Editors The Philadelphia Daily News PO Box 7788 Phila., PA 19101 Dear Editors: We were pleasantly astounded by Monsignor Adamo's column on the Bishop of Partenia. It was nice to hear a usually conservative voice saying that there was no scriptural basis for anti-gay prejudice or a prohibition against the use of condoms, and it was even more gratifying that the Monsignor was encouraging people to read material from the Bishop despite disagreeing with him. Without open discussion and the free flow of information these debates will never be settled to anyone's satisfaction. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
