Dear Editors:

Thank you for your editorial about Billy Jack Gaither. 
However, we can do even more than preach tolerance and
non-violence, and legislate against hate crimes. We
can stand with those who are systematically oppressed
and speak out against discrimination and for equality
and inclusion of all people.

Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom     Christopher Purdom
Interfaith Working Group Coordinators

The above letter went out on IWG letterhead listing 17 congregations and
organizations and 61 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.
