Help ReconcilingWorks welcome the newest Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community: Bear Creek Camp in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Their welcome statement reads:
“Bear Creek Camp is committed to the care and well-being of all. We strive to cultivate an uplifting and loving environment where each person is wholly accepted and affirmed for who they are.
Our Lutheran foundation calls us to work toward justice and peace for all of God’s people. With intentional support of historically marginalized peoples, we commit to promoting racial equity and the affirmation of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions among our community. At Bear Creek Camp, we value thoughtful curiosity, open perspectives, and the celebration of difference among all who share this space. Having experienced this authentic welcome, all who travel our red dirt road will depart equipped to energize their communities with that same expansive spirit of inclusion.
Rooted in our long-held pursuit of intentional community, we seek to create holy ground at Bear Creek Camp that will help shape individuals and communities for generations to come.“
