Subject: IWG Greenleaf Letter Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 23:08:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Chris Purdom The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 2 congregations, 4 religious organizations and 24 clergy from 10 faiths and 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.

We are adamantly opposed to Senate Bill 1558 or any legislation limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. The time has come to discuss this issue openly as a society; pushing through anti-marriage legislation without extensive public debate is not in anyone's best interest. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
