Interfaith Alliance

Like many who contribute to worthy causes I am used to get requests from many charities of all shapes and forms.

But the letter "from the Desk of Walter Cronkite" did catch my eye.

This is how his letter starts:

Dear Friend,

When I anchored the evening news, I kept my opinions to myself. But now, more than ever, I feel I must speak out.

That's because I am deeply disturbed by the dangerous and growing influence of people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell on our nation's political leaders.

Especially after Roberson and Falwell both shamefully blamed America's courts and the highest levels of our government for the horrific September 11 attacks on our nation. They said it happened because we "insulted God." Falwell went on to blame feminists, pro-choice Americans and other groups he despises.

There is also a long letter from Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, President of the Interfaith Alliance (that I have not read yet) and on the top there is, in a box, a quote from Jerry Falwell: " will not adopt 'inclusive' policies to accept other religious teachings."

++++++

Where are our "leaders?" Do all the Republicans subscribe to this? What about Orthodox Jews who generally admire Bush?

and send my daughter to their pre-school here in TX. Would you PM me the letter from Gaddy...not sure if I've seen it. :)

about the danger of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and the religious right... and is asking for donation to counter their influence..

and really do not have time for this.

Perhaps if you go to their website and ask for it?
