From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Daily News letter Date: Thu, 6 Mar 1997 00:23:19 -0500 (EST) The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 3 congregations, 6 religious organizations and 37 clergy from 13 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. March 5, 1997 Philadelphia Daily News PO Box 7788 Phila., PA 19101 Dear Editors: If Craig Trowbridge thinks that the Unitarian Universalist Association is unique in its affirmation of its sexual minority members he obviously does not spend much time actually reading the Daily News. In last week's story about Integrity and Deliverance Evangelistic Church, reporter Ron Goldwyn specifically mentioned widespread support for sexual minorities among mainline Protestants and Reform and Reconstructionist Jews. There are a variety of meanings that can be inferred from many Biblical passages, and the fact that people of faith differ on what the Bible says about sexual orientation should not surprise anybody. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators -- Interfaith Working Group Religious organizations, congregations iwg@libertynet.org and clergy supporting gay rights, http://www.libertynet.org/~iwg/ reproductive freedom, and the 215-235-3050 separation of church and state.
