Keep the Dialogue
Editor — Some time ago you published an article pertaining to the establishment by the Christian community of a dialogue between the Church and homosexuals. Having myself been the recipient of such aid, I was indeed encouraged. Later I read of the arrest of some of the members participating in the first of such meeting. I am disgusted and furious by this harassment of on the part of the police. It seems to me that such an action would be the same as arresting the staff of a mental hospital. Maybe the police department should clarify their point of view on this matter.
As I would like to give financial assistance to this group, please indicate their title and address. I cannot sign my name.
Yours Truly.
To the Rev. Ted McIlvenna, Glide Foundation, 330 Ellis street, San Francisco.—Editor.
