Exchange Street Akron, OH 44328 Dear Editors: Contrary to the January 3 commentary by Rowland Nethaway, religious bodies are increasingly marrying or otherwise blessing the relationships of same-gender couples, and/or are actively supporting equal civil marriage rights. We suggest reading "Religious Support for Equal Marriage Rights," which can be found on the web at www.iwgonline.org/marriage. Sincerely, Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter was sent on IWG letterhead listing 18 congregations and religious organizations and 63 clergy from 16 religious traditions.
