I believe the word you are meaning is do they "accept" white people. Only if you are queer or transgender if that's what you meant.

The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.

Several years ago I had a conversation with a white south African lady who managed a dairy out here in west Texas on how she came to be in Texas.
It seems that when the blacks gained power there, they began confiscating the dairy farms and giving them to the local blacks.
The results were, the blacks were now unemployed, they ate the dairy cattle, tore down the barns and houses using the material to build family huts, and were once again starving.

The Episcopal church? while welcoming sexual perverts, discriminate against white farmers who fed, and employed the blacks, who now want to kill them.

This is just the beginning of these religious affiliated NGOS exposing themselves.

The bone you threw out didn't have much meat on it. It had to be looked for.

Yep, that bone was dried out, I didn’t expect much and was waiting to throw out some meat if this started to pan out a bit, but you put it out first. I just wanted to either get a discussion going or let it die on the vine, for now.

Well, the episcopalians ain't the only ones that don't want these white African farmers. The democrats don't want'em either. They'd rather have gang bangers.

     Well, if, you simply attend God's house to talk and worship God, no problem, as long you keep that you are there to worship God, and simply ignore the Willy-Nilly part, you are there for a good reason

I believe those who espouse un American views, not anti govt of any kind, should lose their rights as an American citizen. I don’t care who they are as being an American means more then being born here, it is a way of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness… You can always leave as your utopia awaits you elsewhere. Don’t let the door hit you in your un American ass.

Yep, the episcopal church once they found out they were persecuted WHITE hard working farmers, refused to help them. As if the episcopal church needs another black eye. I may misunderstand but to me this is what taking gods name in vain is, saying that you represent god but do so for your own ends. I’m sure someone will correct me if wrong.

2nd Corinthians Chapter 11
Verse 13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Verse 14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

   Just  what Bill was talking about..  https://www.npr.org/2025/05/12/g-s1-65988/episcopal-church-white-afrikaners-ends-partnership-u-s-government

  It seems  the Episcopalians think that favoring "people of color' over white people is fine...but including white people who are refugees, is somehow anti-Christian !

   ..That is if they really understand anymore, just what being a Christian means !   In any case, it appears they may have been sucking up taxpayer's funds for years !

The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.

  Found in Romans chapter 1;

   

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.


  Note: vs 28 explains that God gave them over to their depraved minds...  He's washed His hands of them !
