(RNS) — In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday (May 12) that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Donald Trump’s administration.
In a letter sent to members of the church, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe — the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church — said that two weeks ago the 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.”
The request, Rowe said, crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church, which is part of the global Anglican Communion that boasts among its leaders the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a celebrated and vocal opponent of apartheid in South Africa.
“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,” Rowe wrote. “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.”
Rowe stressed that while Episcopal Migration Ministries will seek to “wind down all federally funded services by the end of the federal fiscal year in September,” the denomination will continue to support immigrants and refugees in other ways, such as offering aid to refugees who have already been resettled.

The wolves in the sheepfold are showing themselves.
God sy geprys!
All those “partners” have been traitors to the US with the invasion they have coordinated and executed. Speaking of execution...
The white devils are not loved by God, only pedos and trannues.

Whatever happened to Separation of Church and State?
….except when it comes to whitey.
This almost sounds like The Babylon Bee: “Episcopal Church refuses to resettle refugees because they’re white.”
The Anglican union? The same Anglican union the Episcopal church in the US separated itself from because the Anglican union wouldn’t support gay marriage?!
That was Bush Jr.s’ doing. Before that church did their charitable giving without being reimbursed imagine that.
I think it was couched as a school choice thing that you could have religious schools that could get the children’s vouchers but it turned into a nightmare.
Just as well. Surely there is another organization who can help.
Interesting that the ‘relationship between the Episcopal Church and the federal government was during Obama and Biden’s terms. Explains everything.
“by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.”
-
hell, that’s a win-win right there.....we get the White Afrikaners and end more grants sucking on the government teat.
Why are they tax exempt? Racist, anti Christ pigs.
1) There should never have been a partnership with the US government.
Something in the Constitution about no establishment of religion.
2) It is the position of the Episcopal Church that all Afrikaners should be exterminated.
3) Eternal blood feud is the Episcopal Church way, because they are Democrats.
“...the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe...”
There is NOTHING reverend about this filthy racist pig, let alone the word Most. He is as much a reverend as the poverty pimp Al Sharpton. /spit
All churches should pay taxes.
Recoup every penny given to them to resettle others. Every last penny.
Desmond Tutu was a Marxist, Jew-hating S.O.B.
Racists outing themselves. Good job, Trump!
Apparently so is the Episcopal Church
