US EditionEpiscopal Church says it won't help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status in US
- On Monday, the Episcopal Church announced it will terminate its long-standing refugee resettlement partnership with the U.S. government after declining to assist in relocating white South African individuals designated as refugees by the administration.
- This decision follows the Trump administration's fast-tracking of refugee status for Afrikaners, citing alleged discrimination by South Africa's government, which the South African government denies.
- The Episcopal Church condemned preferential treatment of these refugees as highly unusual and incompatible with its commitment to racial justice and reconciliation, while other refugees face long waits in camps.

- The church plans to continue supporting immigrants through means other than federal programs, while an additional religious organization, Church World Service, has expressed willingness to assist with the resettlement of South African refugees as federal refugee grant agreements come to an end.
