Episcopal Church Is Refusing To Help Resettle Krasnov's Africaners

The Episcopal church has a refugee program with a 50 million dollar federal grant to help resettle refugees. In 2024 alone it has resettled 6,533 refugees from 48 different countries.

Krasnov has bypassed the refugee procedure and has claimed that Africaners are victims of racial discrimination and of genocide.
Krasnov approved 59 Africaners for resettlement.

The Episcopal church has refused to help resettle these people and right supremacists are in an uproar. The church stated that resettling these people would put its church in a moral dilemma and announced it would stop its refugee program in September.

Once again the Episcopal Church is stepping up to be a moral leader for our nation.

I have to wonder why they have to give the money back when religious groups which refuse to help LGBT people can keep their contracts despite that fact.

I think the church already expressed they are going to give up funding.

The Church is doing the right thing. The churches that didn't compromise with Hitler were called the "confessing church." I believe we may be taking that name before long.
