“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,” [bishop] Rowe wrote. “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.”
Having to deal with white Afrikaners is a fitting punishment for Southern Baptists.
Lol. They’ll feel validated and honored.
Eta: this is a broad brush. I do know a couple of Southern Baptists who just attend the church they can get to, and are really decent people.
Broad brush, indeed; it seems like their most outspoken clergy is a whole lot more liberal than their most outspoken congregants… But, yeah, “validated and honored” sounds about right.
