September 11, 1997 Omaha World-Herald World-Herald Square Omaha, NE 68102 Dear Editors: Thank you for the September 10 story about the Rev. Jimmy Creech's officiating at a lesbian couple's union ceremony. It is always inspiring to read about a clergyperson acting on his convictions and beliefs by standing up for the rights of others, despite the threat of official sanction from religious authorities. 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.
