CWN Editor's Note: Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe, who heads the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA, has announced that Episcopal migration agencies will not assist with the resettlement of white refugees who have fled from violence in South Africa.

After the Trump administration announced plans to accept 49 South African refugees, noting the escalating violence against white farmers in that country, Bishop Rowe said that Episcopal Migration Ministries would end its contracts with the federal government. He said that assisting the white refugees would conflict with “our church’s steadfast commitment or racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa.”
