So they'll help refugees for decades, but the moment a white refugee exists, they shut it all down?
Really?
That's just bizarre.
The Church had been in the US Refugee Resettlement program under the State Dept with l2-13 other faith based groups. Trump stopped all assistance and funding after taking office. These groups have been self-funding the program but from the US side its been shuttered.
Then Trump admin demanded that the Episcopal Church's org because they received federal grant money will have to accept these admin described "apartheid" victims when the Church was involved with helping to challenge the real actual apartheid government.
The Church finds that insulting and also working with the refugees the Trump admin abandoned. This state program has helped with refugees from across the globe including the Episcopal Church.
