From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Danbury News-Times letter Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 00:57:14 -0500 (EST) The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 3 congregations, 6 religious organizations and 38 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 21, 1997 The News-Times 333 Main St. Danbury, CT 06810 Dear Editors: We found your articles about safe-zones for gay students at Brookfield High School to be thorough, informative, and unfortunately misleading. After discussing the theological motivations of the Houde family and a local Lutheran minister who agreed with them, the subject of religion never came up again. Your readers are thus left with the mistaken impression that homosexuality is opposed by religious people and only accepted by areligious people. 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.
