All these groups need to be investigated for child trafficking. 300 thousand children went somewhere.

The Archdiocese of Western Tennessee is a woke cesspool, run by Bishop Phoebe Roaf, just back from her Global trot-tour. Real shame. Real radical hierarchy here in Memphis. Advocating arson (backburning for social justice), illegal migration and assisting in the pipeline, woke sermons that sounded more like the “Vagina Monologues”, grooming lesbians at young ages (14), transporting minors across state lines for illegal purposes (kidnapping), and woke school teachers and faculty.

I dated an Episcopalian guy back in the ‘80s. He called himself “J.V. Catholic”.

It’s time for the churches to start paying their fair share in taxes.

[Qwapisking]

Disgraceful and racist.

[pfflier]

Revoke their tax exempt status. They have ceased to be a religious organization.

Episcopal Church Announces It Violates the Doctrine of their Faith to Help White Refugees

May 12, 2025 | Sundance 

When I first read the headlines on social media claiming the Episcopal Church had announced it was against the doctrine of their faith to help white refugees, I will admit I thought the headlines were clickbait and over blown.  However, then I went to read the actual announcement and press release from the Church….  It’s true.

The Episcopal Church has announced, publicly, they were contacted by the federal government as part of an ongoing contract for refugee resettlement, to assist in the transition of white Afrikaner farmers who are fleeing racial violence and given refugee status by the Trump administration.

Specifically, because of the color of their skin, the Episcopal Church is now saying,

“in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice … we are not able to take this step.”

The Church notes their business model using refugee settlement payments from the United States Government has been disrupted by the Trump administration’s pause on funding, and as a result of their no longer getting paid – in combination with the racial profile of the refugees they are now being asked to assist, they will shut down all refugee settlement efforts.  It is a stunning statement:

The Episcopal Church – […] “Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain. Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.

In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.” ~ Rev. Sean W. Rowe, Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church

Obviously, if we drop all pretending, the decision of the Church is based on their superseding doctrine of money, which, in this clear example, outweighs their doctrine of faith.

If there was ever a racial discrimination lawsuit teed up for the Dept of Justice Civil Rights Division, it would be this one.  The Episcopal Church receives government funds for refugee settlement.  The Episcopal Church is admitting the color of the refugee skin is a determining factor in their decision-making of who to assist.  There is not a clearer example of self-admitted discrimination than this one.

Unfortunately, the DOJ Civil Rights Division is now headed by Deputy AG Harmeet Dhillon, I strongly doubt she will take any action.

CTH has long outlined the “faith-based” motives behind the business end of illegal immigration and refugee settlement. {GO DEEP}  Factually, there are many national religious organizations who operate the business of “human trafficking” under the guise of immigration settlement services. {GO DEEP #2} It is an unfortunate reality of the corrupt world we live in.

However, that said, I have not before witnessed a well-known religious denomination so openly proclaim their need to retain racism as a critical variable within their business model.

Perhaps the congregation size within the Episcopalian faith might suffer as a consequence of these admissions.

I was Baptised Episcopalian when I was eleven and Caths except me as one of Their own...
Till they hear me say I’m an ORTHODOX Christian Hedonist!

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””Episcopal Migration Ministries instead will halt its decades-long partnership with the government,””””

We can consider it a win that the FEDS are no longer funding these leftist NGO’s who pretend they are a church.

I have also read the Roman Catholics are in a financial bind now that Catholic Charities has been removed from the gov trough.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””Another faith-based group, Church World Service, said it is open to helping resettle the Afrikaners.”””

---

I believe CWS is another faux church NGO that survives by feeding at the GOV trough.

CWS needs to be investigated.

Saw meme today that had statute of liberty and “Nowhere did I see it say “send us your violent, your lazy, your criminals, send us those who hate this country and who bring their own flags with them

[paudio]

Did they provide free healthcare, cellphone, hotel, and extra money for Jesus?

Joseph and Mary had to return to their hometown for the census; so, they were not illegal aliens.

[packagingguy]

Other than stuffy old white country club types who goes to Episcopal churches anymore, and why?

[hinckley buzzard]

Fine. Payments of Millions of dollars the gov has been sending to the piskies for “refugee resettlement” will now be saved. The taxpayers thank you, hypocrites that you are.

[hinckley buzzard]

They used to say that sort of thing—episcopalians are catholics who flunked latin. Not even close any more.

[irishjuggler]

I dated two different Episcopalian women. It wasn’t their fault in that both of them were born into it as sort of the “WASP country club at prayer.” It is has and sadly always has been, going back to the Tudors, a very half-baked kinda church. Tolkien called it a “shadowy medley of half-remember traditions and mutilated belief,” and that’s about as good as an executive summary I’ve ever seen.

[Organic Panic]

Racist American hating whores. They want uneducated turd world melanated folks who will require their services for generations...which will require huge government handouts. “Church charities” loved the money their human smuggling brought in.

[BiteYourSelf]

Claw back all of the refugee settlement payments they’ve ever received.🤔
