NOT PD-Matthew Shepard of Wyoming/Ivan

[Bruce Anderson <bbanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ivan, we are in the process of establishing a UU Church here in NW Jersey
(Skylands Unitarian Universalist Fellowship)**.  We have 24 members + a
whole mess of kids - goal is to double in 12 months.  We now even have a
part-time minister *(2 Sundays/month)  Do you have anything you could send
me for me to pass on to him which deals with gay-bashing - and/or PD !! -
with a religious bent ?
Thank you.
*He's young & excellent, still a student , not even ordained yet.  I am sure
he would deal with the issue.
** Me? I know I KNOW.  I'm our resident conservative (on some matters).  I
prevent Boy Scout bashing for one thing!
