November 1, 1996 Ms. Donna Brit The Washington Post 1150 15th Street NW Washington, DC 20071 Dear Ms. Brit: Thank you for your excellent November 1 column. When columnists share their thoughts in print, especially their confusion, it helps other people sort through their own feelings. We hope in the long run that religion will be a force for good in this time of change, encouraging people to respect all God's children and their love for each other. We are striving to help everyone celebrate their uniqueness as individuals and our strength as a unified culture rather than focus on fear of the unknown. Keep up the good work.
