From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Salt Lake City religious support for gay rights Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 22:32:38 -0500 (EST) The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 12 congregations and organizations and 55 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. February 14, 1998 The Salt Lake Tribune PO Box 867 Salt Lake City, UT 84110 Dear Editor: Robert Kirby's February 7 column complaining about Christian treatment of Wendy Weaver was certainly within the bounds of reasonable criticism, especially for a semi-humorous piece of writing. However, comments such as "Christians. Can't live with them, can't feed them to lions anymore," reinforce the incorrect notion that all Christians oppose Ms. Weaver in particular and gay rights in general. 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.
