Episcopal Church Severs Ties Over Refugee Policy

The Episcopal Church has chosen to end its partnership with the U.S. government over the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees from South Africa, a move reflecting its commitment to racial justice. Despite the Afrikaners facing persecution, the church prioritizes aiding those languishing in refugee camps. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly criticized the decision, questioning the church's humanitarian commitments. The church seeks to wind down its resettlement activities by the end of the fiscal year, focusing on alternative support for migrants.
