From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Ladies Home Journal Thank You Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 23:48:16 -0500 (EST) February 2, 1999 Ladies' Home Journal 125 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 Dear Editors: Thank you very much for publishing "Two Moms for Zack" in your February issue. The ordinary lives and extrordinary struggles of same-gender couples and their families are all-too-frequently ignored in mainstream publications, but you presented a story that was both personally touching and generally informative. One issue that was not covered in the story was the difficulty that some families have in finding a religious home. We provide referals by email (iwg@libertynet.org) for same-gender couples who are seeking a welcoming congregation. 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. -- 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.
