Michigan Avenue Chicago, IL 60611 Dear Editors: Thank you very much for publishing Steve Kloehn's March 20 comments regarding the Protestant debate over the morality of homosexuality. We read almost every article published in mainstream periodicals in North America that is related to religion and sexual orientation. Of all the stories we have read, Mr. Kloehn's analysis demonstrated the best grasp of the underlying issues and the importance and potential magnitude of the disagreement. 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.
