The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 3 congregations, 5 religious
organizations and 37 clergy from 12 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.  Visit the web page at http://www.libertynet.org/~iwg/.

Dear Editors:

Thank you very much for your article on progressive
interfaith organizations.  It was extremely heartening
to read an article in which a member of the clergy says
that they don't consider it an extreme left-wing
position to support reproductive freedom and same-sex
marriage.  Almost every day we learn of more groups
such as ours appearing around the country, and we know
that our hope for the future has not been misplaced.


					Sincerely,
