💨 Abstract

The Episcopal Church's migration service has declined a federal directive to resettle white South Africans granted refugee status, citing the church's commitment to racial justice. The church's Presiding Bishop, Sean Rowe, cited preferential treatment given to the South Africans, which drew criticism for bypassing thousands of other refugees. The decision ends the ministry's 40-year partnership with the U.S. government, which has resettled nearly 110,000 refugees.
