It was gratifying to see press coverage of religious support for gay rights, and to see those supporters qualified as mainstream. We also appreciated your inclusion of a theological explanation of this support. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
