Episcopal Church: 'We Can't Be Ourselves' And Help Resettle White South Africans
Immigration,Refugees,Religion And Faith
You can't make this crap up, can you?
After decades of "partnering with"--read "getting big bucks from"--the federal government to aid with the resettlement of refugees, the Episcopal Church has decided that it can no longer do so because...they were asked to help resettle white people.
The reasons they cite? Their longstanding commitment to racial justice and connections to the South African Anglicans, including Desmond Tutu, a key player in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was intended to prevent the kind of racial violence that is now rife in the country.
