Letter to the Editor re: article "Children of a Lesser God"

Editor -- I was genuinely offended by your use of the term 'Moonies' in your series 'Children of a Lesser God.' This term is demeaning and immediately established the bias of Don Lattin, Chronicle religion writer. The term 'Moonie' is obviously not how members of this religious group identify themselves.

For the record, I have never been a member of this organization and would be considered far too left of center to ever fit in. I do not endorse their religious or political views. However, for The Chronicle to present the Unification Church as 'Moonies' for the mainstream public to belittle tells us much more about The Chronicle than it does about this religious group.MILY TRABINGSan Francisco
