From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Cincinnati Reconciling Congregation Letter Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 23:25:43 -0400 (EDT) June 12, 1999 Cincinnati Enquirer 312 Elm Street Cincinnati, OH 45202 Dear Editors: Thank you for your June 7 article about Clifton United Methodist Church. During the current theological and political debate over sexual orientation, the lives of the real people who are arguing and being argued about are frequently ignored or glossed over; it was therefore heartening to see your paper make an honest attempt to report in-depth on one congregation that has chosen to stand with the oppressed. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter went out on IWG letterhead listing 17 congregations and organizations and 65 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. -- Interfaith Working Group Religious organizations, congregations http://www.libertynet.org/iwg and clergy supporting gay rights, iwg@libertynet.org reproductive freedom, and the voice: 215-235-3050 fax: 232-0829 separation of church and state.
