The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 10 congregations and religious
organizations and 48 clergy from 14 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:

Christian N. Temple may be shocked by the Catholic
Bishops' assertion that same-gender sexual activity is
immoral, but parents should love gay children anyway;
but to many people of faith who believe homosexuality
is no more or less moral than heterosexuality, the
Bishops' position, while positive and loving, is still
oppressive.


Sincerely,
