Interfaith Working Group Online Links Religious Opinion on Social Issues Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Reproductive Freedom Separation of Church and State Diversity Radical Religious Right Newest Additions The pages referenced here are a good starting point for learning about gay rights, reproductive freedom, the separation of church and state, and the diversity of religious opinion. We also maintain a regularly updated summary of current debates on these issues, and a page of links organized by religious tradition. This page is part of the Interfaith Working Group Online, though most of the pages referenced here belong to groups and individuals who are not Interfaith Working Group supporters. For commentaries by our clergy supporters, read our pulpit page. (This list is retained for historical and reference purposes, but is no longer being maintained.)
