Re: Clergy letter

I think this has been noted before here but it's worth re-emphasizing. Encourage all clergy to sign it. I know that to some this will have an air of clericalism about it but the reality is that getting such a letter signed by a lot of Christian clergy will have a significant PR impact.

    Colleagues,

    The Clergy Project, an effort to gain the signatures of 10,000 Christian clergy members on a letter indicating that religion and science need not be in conflict, and that evolution should be taught in our schools, has come to my attention. I am writing in the hope that you will share information about the Clergy Project with anyone who might be in a position to sign this letter. The goal is to provide a counterbalancing voice from Christian clergy to fundamentalists claiming that people must choose between religion and science. To date, more than 4,000 members of the clergy have signed the letter.

    The Clergy Project letter can be viewed and signed electronically at:

    A message from the originator of this project, Dr. Michael Zimmerman, Dean, College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, is at:

    Thanks for your help.
