From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Lewiston Maine Letter Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 23:57:15 -0400 (EDT) The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 10 congregations and religious organizations and 45 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. August 14, 1997 The Lewiston Sun-Journal 104 Park Street Lewiston, ME 04240 Dear Editors: A recent article about the attempt to veto the sexual orientation non-discrimination law described used the unqualified phrase "Christian groups" to refer to the groups organizing the veto effort. This usage ignores the variety of opinions among Christians and Christian organizations concerning both sexual orientation and gay rights legislation. 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.
