I just received my Wittenberg
Magazine and want to
thank you for the interesting
content and notes about what
various alumni are currently
up to.
However, I was distressed
to read William Demarest’s
letter titled “Story on campus
support of gays and lesbians
requested,” and hope its publication
does not signal an intent
to include such an article
in an upcoming issue.
Wittenberg’s roots are in the
Lutheran church, and even included
a seminary on campus.
The Bible is very clear
that homosexuality is sinful,
and while we must love the sinner,
we cannot condone the sin.
With over 50 percent of the
population considering itself
evangelical Christian, and less
than 3 percent considering it-
self homosexual, I’m certain
that an article in your magazine
on campus support of gays
and lesbians would upset far
more alumni than the few it
would please.
