Religious liberty, no matter how imperfectly it may be practiced, is one of the great strengths of our nation. We should be proud that more than two-hundred years after the ratification of the First Amendment, this is still a country where religious minorities can freely associate, organize and practice their faiths. 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.
