The Episcopal Church, after decades of shifting stances on the cause of life, the ordination of women, and the embrace of the LGBTQ+ and transgender agenda, now has a moral line—and Trump has crossed it. Because of this move by the Trump administration to welcome 49 white South African families to America as refugees, the Episcopal Church has chosen to shutter its 40-year-long Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM). It seems that white South Africans do not fit the definition of those needing help fleeing "persecution in their own lands, to find compassion and welcome here."

So much for mercy to the stranger. For the Episcopalians, white refugees are the wrong cause, the wrong race, and definitely welcomed by the wrong administration.
