Donald Spitz's interpretation of Leviticus is incongruously violent coming from the director of an organization with `pro-life' in the name; it is also not as generally accepted or obvious as he implies. We hope that sexual minorities will not conclude that Rev. Spitz's views are representative of Christianity or the larger community of faith, which includes many congregations that welcome and affirm gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and their families. Sincerely, Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter was sent on IWG letterhead listing 19 congregations and religious organizations and 64 clergy from 16 religious traditions.
