RE: Clergy letter

It would be best if the word "evolution" were as unequivocally defined
as possible. This sort of effort is certainly not necessary regarding
the teaching of the physical sciences---experimental, observational or
otherwise.

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.
