The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 3 congregations, 5 religious
organizations and 37 clergy from 12 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:

Thank you for your extensive coverage of the debate
within the Presbyterian Church (USA) over the Fidelity
and Chastity Amendment.  It is extremely important that
the public understand the debate over sexual issues
that is occurring in almost all organized religions,
and Ms. Goodstein's article was a fine in-depth
examination of the questions.  We would like to point
out, however, that many supporters of ordination for
sexual minorities also believe that their position
truly reflects Biblical morality.

Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom     Christopher Purdom
