A Letter to BYM Camps

We discussed Jesse's letter briefly at Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business on Sunday. It's worth taking the time to read. Jesse has been involved with BYM camps for fifteen years as a counselor and director. He reflects on his experience as a Black person working in the BYM camping program and the racism he observed and experienced. His letter is honest, thoughtful, and generous.

The Clerk of the BYM Growing Diverse Leadership Committee responded to Jesse's letter in a way that really exemplified what accountability should look like. I was really impressed by this response. You can read it here: https://tinyurl.com/xk6tb4b6
