From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG NY Post DP and Marriage Date: Sun, 31 May 1998 22:48:43 +2000 (EDT) The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 15 congregations and organizations and 58 clergy from 15 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. May 30, 1998 The New York Post 1121 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10036 Dear Editors: In their commentaries about domestic partnership and marriage, William F. Buckley and Ray Kerrigan miss three important points: 1) civil marriage and religious marriage are two different things 2) Christianity is not the only religion in America, and 3) among Christians and other people of faith there is little consensus regarding the nature or meaning of marriage. 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.
