When I first read the headlines on social media claiming the Episcopal Church had announced it was against the doctrine of their faith to help white refugees, I will admit I thought the headlines were clickbait and over blown. However, then I went to read the actual announcement and press release from the Church…. It’s true.
The Episcopal Church has announced, publicly, they were contacted by the federal government as part of an ongoing contract for refugee resettlement, to assist in the transition of white Afrikaner farmers who are fleeing racial violence and given refugee status by the Trump administration.
Specifically, because of the color of their skin, the Episcopal Church is now saying, “in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice … we are not able to take this step.”
The Church notes their business model using refugee settlement payments from the United States Government has been disrupted by the Trump administration’s pause on funding, and as a result of their no longer getting paid – in combination with the racial profile of the refugees they are now being asked to assist, they will shut down all refugee settlement efforts. It is a stunning statement:
The Episcopal Church – […] “Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain. Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.
In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.” ~ Rev. Sean W. Rowe, Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church
Obviously, if we drop all pretending, the decision of the Church is based on their superseding doctrine of money, which, in this clear example, outweighs their doctrine of faith.
If there was ever a racial discrimination lawsuit teed up for the Dept of Justice Civil Rights Division, it would be this one. The Episcopal Church receives government funds for refugee settlement. The Episcopal Church is admitting the color of the refugee skin is a determining factor in their decision-making of who to assist. There is not a clearer example of self-admitted discrimination than this one.
Unfortunately, the DOJ Civil Rights Division is now headed by Deputy AG Harmeet Dhillon, I strongly doubt she will take any action.
CTH has long outlined the “faith-based” motives behind the business end of illegal immigration and refugee settlement. {GO DEEP} Factually, there are many national religious organizations who operate the business of “human trafficking” under the guise of immigration settlement services. {GO DEEP #2} It is an unfortunate reality of the corrupt world we live in.
However, that said, I have not before witnessed a well-known religious denomination so openly proclaim their need to retain racism as a critical variable within their business model.
Perhaps the congregation size within the Episcopalian faith might suffer as a consequence of these admissions.
Another tax exemption ready to pull…..
You beat me to it
Disgusting!! This makes a mockery of the Christian Faith.
All Federal funds should be removed from ANY organization that so explicitly exemplifies a distasteful disregard of a specific race for aid and comfort. Who would want to be part of a church that displays such callousness.
The Lord is not mocked, these robed frauds bring the disdain on themselves.
The bible tells us there will be fraudulent ( fake) Christians and fake clergy so I just see this as a sign we are in the End of Times.So sad to see such blatant racism from a church and also a bit frightening.I definitely did not predict this.Guess I’m naive.
Maybe when they started ordaining women and homosexuals as ministers that should have been a caution sign.
Dear Sister Liz, the Ordination errors are only the tip of the iceberg. The real caution sign came when the Bible and it’s teachings were thrown out of their stained glass windows, Baby, bathwater, Bible and all to compromise with the world. Always anticipate bad results from such behavior, individually and collectively.
May our Lord grant us the grace to learn from their error.
Is this new to you? It’s actually worse. Consider that these people aren’t lapsing in their faith. They are demonstrating atheism or at least a complete lack of fear of God. This isn’t like a temporary moment of failed temptation. This is a full-on demonstration they don’t at all or in any way believe in God’s existence.
Imagine you’re a psychopath. You observe a congregation of people of faith. You want to exploit them. You become a leader in their faith and before you know it, you’ve got another example of how countless corrupt churches come to be.
I am reasonably certain that if we were discussing a certain white nationalist church in Idaho, there would be immediate efforts by the IRS to remove its tax exemption.
Have the Wokesters found an opportunity to try and force this administration to turn on the USAID fountain again for all NGOs???
The Epicopalian Emperor is not wearing any clothes…..
DOGE only ‘found’ the fountain. The ‘tap’ has not been turned off.
Shalt we dare look into all the other HOLY religious groups and see how they prospered during the Illegal Immigrant Invasion
brought about by our infamous UNIPARTY of Congress?
Would be a real eye opener for sure.
Let’s tear the roof off it! Might be easier to figure out whose hands aren’t dirty.
A year or so back I read an article that explained that a big percentage of evangelicals did not vote in elections.This surprised me.I think this is another thing being revealed and it is much worse than I imagined.
Check your data. I work in a healthcare setting that serves 6 Midwest counties with many, many Evangelicals… 80%+/-. If some didn’t support Trump they were silent because the ones who did had everything from hats to lawn signs and more. I don’t see those types staying home on election day.
“congregation size”?
Sundance, are you serious? My family was raised in the Anglican tradition — which was supposed to be reflected in the Episcopalians of the US. But ever since they embraced ghey “marriage”, they have been dead to me. Even progressives don’t go to these decrepit institutions anymore.
The Gospel of Mathew comes to mind:
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
They chose money. Ooops.
Very true.
Just wow! 😳
After much reflection I have come to believe that removing 501c tax exemption from churches would be a good thing. It would separate the chaff quickly. It couldn’t make things worse.
There ought not be non-profits as far as the government is concerned. It has largely become a money shelter that milks the good intentions of the public while avoiding taxes. I’ve become extremely jaded to even some of the well known evangelical “good” organizations because their administrative leaders make such large amounts while innocent and naive pe folks sacrifice for the greater good. Pick your favorite well known charitable organization and look at the compensation of the top layer of administrators. Not all, but many.
Can’t buy it. The Founding Fathers didn’t want the government to be able to tax/regulate churches. Your disappointment and anger haven’t convinced me your ways are better than the Founders. I stand with them.
Founders didn’t foresee this kind of corruption. They were highly incentivized to separate church from state, but now the two are a non starter compared to the needed separation of corporation and state. Sadly, all global churches are corporations and they should be treated as such. I still think smaller churches should be tax exempt though.
There’s a huge difference between not taxing church property and granting churches billions a year for their allegedly charitable activities.. giving churches billions a year is certainly “ “establishments “ of religion.,Establishment of any con artist that calls itself a religion with a do gooder cause.
“in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice“
This is the tell. They’d gladly resettle any non-white non-Christian because they aren’t Godly, they are communist.
This lady would be cheering on the tire necklaces.
*spit*
You forgot the quotation marks on the word “lady”. May their 501C3 status be lifted.
She kind of looks like she knows she and her position are dying.
She looks ill.
Ugh.
God will not be mocked, lady. Beware of falling pianos
2 Thessalonians 2 v 3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
To heck with the epissers here’s a video and look at the joy on them. Notice they are families not military aged men.
BREAKING: The first set of White South Africans fleeing Genocide have arrived in the United States
Notice how there’s women & children?

Thanks for the link!
And look at all the usa flags and the laughter…….they seem like the type who would fit right in
Bet you won’t see them give any middle finger salutes to their american neighbors – I’d gladly host a family like that….
Hate to think of what some of those families probably saw
This article says it all. Like I have always said. Our borders would be locked down tight. If all the invaders were White!
The Episcopal Church was down to fewer than 600,000 in the pews every Sunday five years ago.
I can’t imagine things have gotten any better over the last five years.
I haven’t darkened a ECUSA door in about six years, and then only due to a funeral. I made tracks out probably six years before that because it became obvious that it was turning pagan, and very quickly.
As I’ve posted before, I now have deep suspicions about what is really under and around the Washington National Cathedral, a site I have visited many times over decades.
I shudder to consider the possibilities, in a church in which deference to status and power is in the DNA, doubly so at that particular site.
I think this obvious departure from basic Christian charity, even more than the turning into the Church of the Perverted, may be the final death knell for Henry VIII’s legacy.
Sometimes, things just have to be allowed to wither and rot.
The Episcopal Church’s average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2023 was approximately 411,000 across its 6,754 congregations. This reflects a 10.69% increase from 2022 (373,000) and a recovery from the pandemic low of 313,000 in 2021, though it remains 43% below 2009 levels (725,000). Long-term trends show a 32% decline in ASA from 2014 to 2023. Notably, 32.9% of congregations have an ASA of 25 or fewer, 26.8% have 26–50, 32.1% have 51–150, and 8.3% have 151 or more. These figures exclude virtual attendance, as there’s no standardized method to track it, though 75% of congregations offered hybrid or virtual worship in 2023
So, just counting all the former Episcopal church attenders who have commented on this thread, if we added all of the “formers” up, we would darned near have a bigger Treeper congregation right here and now than a third of the extant Episcopal churches out there.
So, their trip to paganism caused their attendance to plummet to dismal lows!
Thus, they turned to “Refuge Resettlement” Human Trafficking to be able to keep paying the big salaries and perks!
“Refugee Resettlement” should henceforth be
read as “Non-White Invasion”
Inflated numbers. If they’re anything as inflated as the Mormon churches numbers, then the real numbers are closer to 1/3rd to 1/4th their advertised numbers.
Attended an Episcopal service in August 2022. The FEMALE Deacon was bemoaning the recent SCOTUS overturning of Row v Wade and advocating for abortion. We got up and walked out, and will never be back.
It’s a brainwashing.
Got a cousin. . . considers herself a good Christian. And, she’s not a bad person. She is really quite a “good” person. But her time in the pews on Sunday mornings is taking her ever further away from Scripture, and from God.
Yes, she thinks abortion does not offend God.
Maybe for some people, it is necessary to have them really, truly “get” the reality of the demonic thirst for human sacrifice in order to “get” the Consequences of how we have been feeding the demons.
Of course, you have to first come to grips with the reality of demons.
These folks are wrapped in delusion.
“bemoaning the recent SCOTUS overturning of Row v Wade and advocating for abortion.”
When you allow a little evil inside the gates of the church, it opens the the doors to unspeakable evil.
I remember (about 50 years ago) hearing on the radio in St. Louis that the Episcopalian Bishop of Boston commented that one does not need to believe in Jesus Christ in order to be a good bishop.(!)
Later on after we moved to New England my wife wanted to join the local Episcopalian church. She did, I didn’t. I just took notes until it was simply too insufferable.
I was definitely naive about the Episcopalian Church,I had no idea.
Just….WOW.
60 years ago my church had already been slapped with the label of “trendier than thou” It has been downhill ever since. Sorry to say it has not yet reached bottom. Just about every perversion of mind and body has found a home in the Episcopal Church of the U.S.
Hoping to replenish the collection plates, they offered all sorts of secular enticements. Truly, selling their souls for pieces of silver.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:20, KJV)
I left the Episcopal Church long ago.
Matthew 7:15 “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no great thing if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their destiny will be according to their works.
I left the Episcopal Church unofficially years ago. I am not impressed by fat lesbians in vestments lecturing me on morality or their expansive view of The Gospel, Jesus in a Drag Show, or any other pagan nonsense.
The older I get the more I am turning inward and toward a literalist view of salvation. Families used to take up that space, but the war against Trad Fam has been won. For now, at least.
literalist view? what other view is there? the truth is the truth. the only way is through Jesus. and family’s are still taking up a space. out on a back road at a community fellowship.
Wow! Really shameful stuff. I thought we were all equal in the eyes of the Lord.
yep. we are equally born into sin. we are equally loved. we are equally endowed with a God sense.
This is so disappointing, disgusting, disgraceful… I was baptized and confirmed in this church – decades ago – in my small home town. The relationships and memories built during my youth, the return visits, the donations my parents made…In my adult years the church has not played a key role in my reinvigorated faith. But I have generally held it in some regard, even with questionable moves the institution has made in recent decades.
I understand corruption and racism can be found across Christian church institutions, it’s just crappy when it’s such a brazen display that undermines any regard I have ever had.
Looks like the Episcopal Church will be the Antichrists’ first stop when he appears as an Angel of Light.
Masonic Lodges
prince of the power of the air.
It’s good to be clear.
Both the Protestant and Catholic Churches are infected with serious heresy.
A Christian today wouldn’t want to attend the organized church.
The woman in question is just a woke Democrat wearing a clerical collar. In leftist ideology whites can never be victims no matter what is done to them.
They have chosen to be “reconciled” with the world.
Funny, Caucasians are truly a minority in this world.
Just another APOSTATE showing their True Colors
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Despicable!
Once the blacks who killed or forcibly removed the white farmers are starving, they may get a clue. Maybe, cause and effect.
It has already happened in other african countries, and no, the people there did not get a clue.
Eliminating all whites does not lead to a utopia or to wakanda.
Claw back any unspent funds.
“However, then I went to read the actual announcement and press release from the Church….”
FTA:
“Since March, a dedicated team of Episcopal Migration Ministries employees has fulfilled our commitment to serve people who arrived just before or in the first days of the new administration. Now that we are ending our involvement in federally funded refugee resettlement, we have asked the administration to work toward a mutual agreement that will allow us to wind down all federally funded services by the end of the federal fiscal year in September. We are working with the affected staff members to provide extensive outplacement services and severance packages.”
What kind and generous people they are. However, take away my tax dollars and they’re not so generous, are they.
These are not holy people. These are not religious people. These are NOT GOOD PEOPLE! They are degenerate, worthless good for nothing FILTHY MARXIST REPROBATES!
The Bible is the Word of God. Words from the Episcopal church are not important.
How many entitled Episcopalians does it take to change a light bulb.
Two.
One to call an electrician and one to mix the drinks.
If the Whiskypalians keep this up they may lose the other half that didn’t leave over gay clergy.
These people have absolutely no character whatsoever.
Our kids Episcopal school had them learning from college textbooks in high school, they breezed through college…in high school they also began their indoctrination. Which I was blind to until 9 years ago..
God bless America
I recall that Tucker Carlson said something like he had not darkened the Episcopal Church doors for many, many moons.
He has been quite clear that it is now obviously a pagan organization.
Sadly, I am not surprised.
My husband and I left the Episcopal Church several years ago: Presiding Bishop stating more than one way to God, another Rector being both a practicing Episcopalian and Muslim, very much pro-abortion prejudiced against black African leaders, etc.
My husband and I got up and walked out of our little historic church in Va., picked up our toddler daughter, and left – the prejudicial remarks against African bishops being the proverbial straw. We went to various churches in area that wanted to keep to being Christian. Episcopal church replied with nastiness and vehemence against these parishes, threatening pensions (illegal), lawsuits and so forth. Finally these congregations broke away, set up a new Anglican Church in America under an Archbishop from one of African divisions (very conservative leadership). When we asked to be removed from its rolls, the church basically said no way we are doing that. So their membership numbers are even less than stated.
The Anglican American church is growing, the Episcopal Church is losing membership.
We moved to upper East Tennessee and now the nearest Anglican church is over 1 1/2 hours away.
As we can attest by its actions in Virginia, the Episcopal Church is not Christian in its leadership or values.
We are not surprised by its actions.
In agreement with your sentiments Caren. An important fact that may escape many people is that The Anglican Church of North America broke away from the Episcopal Church many years ago when the ordination of known homosexuals and women to the status of Bishop set the cat among the pigeons. That church has slipped further into the mire with pronouncements against Jesus and the Gospel truths. Angilcanism is Christ centered worship supported by scripture.
From the announcement —
“Fundraising: It is important to understand the scale of federal grant money from which we are stepping away. In most recent years, Episcopal Migration Ministries received more than $50 million annually in federal funds.”
Not only are they working hard to keep people of color on their plantations, they lie in such a way as to make themselves look righteous to their
baffoonery laden zombiescongregants by saying it is they who are “stepping away” from $50 million annually.Nope, the cash was pulled out of your grasping, greedy, corrupt dirty little hands.
Christian? Yes, those Jesus spoke about who are on the wide road.
30(?) pieces of silver brings down yet another.
Thank goodness for the Anglican Church, a present and beautiful refuge from all this film flam that has gripped our country’s institutions. Upholding the Gospel with faith based living is the road back to Our Lord Jesus Christ, to sanity and inner peace.
Heartless hypocrites.
“Perhaps the congregation size within the Episcopalian faith might suffer as a consequence of these admissions.” – now that is funny –
‘Private’ Refugee Resettlement Agencies Mostly Funded by the Government
https://cis.org/Rush/Private-Refugee-Resettlement-Agencies-Mostly-Funded-Government
Well, as I’ve noted before, Harmeet Dhillon has removed over 100 Civil Rights attorneys – some by the tried-and-true method of giving Woke Progressive lawyers menial jobs, or tasks which contradicted their Woke idealogues.
She’s also done a 180-degree flip on the priorities of the Department – she is pursuing the exact priorities President Trump laid out.
Washington Post: “Civil rights division director Harmeet K. Dhillon has redirected her staff to focus on combating antisemitism, anti-Christian bias and what she calls “woke ideology.” ”
LA Times: “However, in an interview with conservative podcast host Glenn Beck, Dhillon acknowledged being blunt with division attorneys about the expectation that they work to enforce Trump’s political agenda regardless of their own personal politics — which she said some did not like. …
“…The senators wrote that one of Dhillon’s new directives reportedly required the division’s voting rights section to give priority to investigating election fraud, “despite overwhelming evidence” that it “is a rare occurrence.” “
Most of the lawyers left on their own because of her changes. They helped the DOJ not only by leaving, but by doing it by resignation. So they don’t qualify for unemployment. Hope the school loans are paid off…
Won’t suffer from us leaving. We already left.
I also contacted the church and let them know how disappointing their decision was, and how ironic it was to claim it was out of concern for “racial justice” when farmers are being killed because of their race.
There is another reason why this woman may have shut down the entire church refugee program.
A cleanup operation to cover up human trafficking operations.
She said Trump cut off her flow of refugees.
Now that would man she can’t supply her trafficking clients. She doesn’t want to South African refugees she can’t sell.
Plus there are fears that the Trump admin is investigating hidden trafficking operations so she shut hers down and is cleaning up.
This is the brilliance of PDJT, he lets the snakes squirm out on their own. He sits back and waits for the bad guys to out themselves.
More commy idiots
My family didn’t leave the Episco-pagan church, the Episco-pagan church left my family.
Elsewhere in the news the Episcopal Church announces their apostacy.
So let me get this straight. Episcopalians are against African-Americans now! Or just “These” African-Americans?
