Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 23:45:56 -0500 From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Keene NH Vermont letter January 9, 2000 Keene Sentinel Box 546 Keene, NH 03431 Dear Editors: Thank you very much for your pro-equality editorial of January 2. We would like to point out, however, that there is significant and growing religious support for both civil and religious marriage for same-gender couples, and the "legal problem" is not particularly complex; the federal and state governments merely need to remove gender discrimination from current civil marriage law by removing references to gender. 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.
