From the Executive Minister
Dear Friends,

You may have noticed the paid advertisement placed in in the October 16th edition of The Democrat and Chronicle. The ad was in response to the circulation of white supremacist literature, which has been spread in two suburbs of Rochester in recent weeks.

No doubt these flyers are in response to the "Black Lives Matter" movement. Many in the White community have decried this campaign as exclusionary. I know a few have labeled it as racist.
