(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.

All this does is prove that they are, in fact, genuine refuges.
It also proves, if it still needed proving, that the Episcopal Church is no longer a Christian denomination, but rather a Marxist activist group.
There as bad as the Anglicans.
White Afrikaners are just fodder to them. They want them tortured and killed as reparations so to speak.
The Episcopal Church, like so many others, worships mammon and serves the Deep State.
They ARE Anglicans. Different continent.
The Episcopal Church fathers apparently don’t want to have the black South Africans they “support” to be shown as the violent racists they clearly are, nor do they wish to be tarred with the “racist” brush for having helped Afrikaners flee the ANC tyranny they abetted.
The Episskopal church!
I guess they just showed which side they are on in the battle between good and evil. “- Woe unto them that call evil good. “
Doesn’t the left want whites out of South Africa? Oh wait. That’s only if it’s through genocide, not through migration.
“...Rowe said, crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church...”
Yeah, it is the morally correct thing to do, so, of course, they won’t do the morally correct thing. They are unmoored from Christianity.
The Episcopal Church only takes in deviants and war mongers these days.
Anglicans are a mixed bag.
The African Anglican Church, ironically, is very solid.
As is the American, as it exists as a rejection of Episcopalian heresy.
In England, however, you are absolutely correct.
That church is racist.
The Episcopals, like many of the mainline Protestant churches, were invaded by draft dodgers from VN in the 1970s who could get a lifetime deferment, a cushy job where they often didn’t even believe in the Gospel, and decent pay given the major endowments left to these churches by many wealthy believers who had no idea what they would transform into - centers of leftist agitation, a shade away from Bolshevism, and no defense of traditional values or standards.
I read about Trump’s decision only yesterday. Thought it was definitely the right thing to do. And was wondering when the fallout was going to hit. Didn’t take long. Whites as refugees torques a lot of the genocide lovers out there.
Excellent facts. Thanks for sharing.
“As white South Africans in active leadership within the Christian community, representing diverse political and theological perspectives, we unanimously reject these claims.”
Make sure these crazed liars are barred from entering the US.
