Episcopal Church Quits Partnership with U.S. Government Over Resettlement of White South Africans
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Episcopal Church is ending a longstanding partnership with the
federal government and refusing to help resettle white South Africans
who've been granted refugee status in the U.S. The Episcopal Church
cited its "commitment to racial justice and reconciliation." Some 60
white South Africans arrived in the U.S. Monday as refugees, even though
that program has been suspended for all other groups.
