If you are in the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths are welcome. We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in other areas. Visit the web page at http://www.qrd.org/qrd/www/religion/orgs/iwg/. December 6, 1995 Mr. Michael Eisner Walt Disney Company 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank CA, 91521 Dear Mr. Eisner: Thank you for extending benefits to the same-sex partners of your employees. Please realize that those narrow-minded individuals who are criticizing you for this decision do not represent all people of faith. Religious leaders have criticized Disney in the past for a lack of moral leadership, but that is their responsibility, not yours as entertainers. However, in this case you have provided such leadership, and we thank you for it. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
