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.

Dear Editors:

We were very pleased to read that the Virginia
Theological Seminary is changing its sexual behavior
policy from the one identical to a policy currently
being considered for adoption by the Presbyterian
Church (USA) entitled "Fidelity and Chastity
Amendment".  Hopefully the seminary's recognition that
the morality of any sexual activity depends on
responsibility, mutual respect, and intent, and not on
marital status or gender, will set a good example for
denominations which are having difficulty agreeing on
standards of moral sexual behavior.

Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom     Christopher Purdom
