Dear Editors:

	We strongly disagree with Shirley Ruth's July 2
letter. "It's Elementary" is about schools which are
being socially responsible by making an effort to
teach students that gay students, gay teachers, and
the children of gay parents are to be accepted and
treated the same as everyone else.  

Sincerely,

Barbara Purdom     Christopher Purdom
Interfaith Working Group Coordinators


The above letter went out on IWG letterhead listing 17 congregations and
organizations and 67 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.
