From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Fort Worth Normandy Landing Letter Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 00:03:43 -0400 (EDT) July 26, 1998 Fort Worth Star Telegram PO Box 1870 Fort Worth, TX 76101 Dear Editor: We were alarmed and saddened by quotes from the Family Research Council about the "Normandy Landing in the larger cultural war" (Homosexuality Issue Resurfaces, July 16). This war is only in the minds of those who paid for the ad campaign. The rest of us see only a struggle for equal treatment under the law, for peaceful coexistence, for free exercise of religion, and for basic civility, none of which are an impediment to the survival of American culture. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter went out on IWG letterhead listing 16 congregations and organizations and 58 clergy from 16 religious traditions. 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. -- 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.
