Our guest preacher, Rev. Barry Cammer, addressed the moral dilemma surrounding race in America. Thoughtful whites of our generation are well aware of the racism that is woven throughout our history, and we sincerely hope for a day when it’s behind us. Yet, every day, in dozens of ways large and small, we continue to enjoy advantages based on color.
Barry Cammer has been an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ since 1987. He served as a parish minister for 8 years before choosing affordable housing as his designated ministry. He has traveled extensively in Asia, Latin America and the former Soviet Union studying housing affordability. He theoretically retired from ministry in 2017, but has continued to be deeply involved in the Black Wealth Builders Fund project.
