The Episcopal Church’s migration service is refusing a directive from the federal government to help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status, citing the church’s longstanding “commitment to racial justice and reconciliation.”

Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe announced the step Monday, shortly before 59 South Africans arrived at Dulles International Airport outside Washington on a private charter plane and were greeted by a government delegation.

There are plenty of other jobs that black Sputh Africans have been taking for centuries under their white counterparts, surely the same system will be in place and they can continue gainful employment in the country they love?
