Love is what marriage is all about, and love is something that society should encourage whenever possible. This is why so many religious organizations have signed the marriage resolution to support civil same-sex marriage and to support the work of groups like the Philadelphia Freedom to Marry Coalition. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators April 5, 1996 Debbie Woodell The Philadelphia Daily News PO Box 7788 Phila., PA 19101 Dear Ms Woodell: Thank you for your excellent column about same-sex marriage. Love is what marriage is all about, and love is something that society should encourage whenever possible. It is all too rare today; especially as the Radical Right crusades for hate in the name of God. We pray that love will prevail.
