Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:48:24 -0400 From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Washington Post coverage letter April 22, 2000 The Washington Post 1150 15th Street NW Washington, DC 20071 Dear Editors: We were very surprised that Howard Kurtz's April 20 article about increased religious reporting made a passing reference to attitudes about ordination of sexual minorities, but no specific reference to other stories about religion and sexuality in the last few years in papers around the country (including the Washington Post) that do not really belong in the categories of `politics' or `sexual misconduct.' The article did not mention sex education, blessings for same-gender couples, the ex-gay movement or the religious gay rights movement, all of which received considerable coverage. 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 65 clergy from 16 religious traditions.
