[Magdalen] Where is the Episcopal Church?

[Kristin Rollins]

I suspect that is because Curry attempted to get ahead of the issue. He
released this statement on Wednesday:

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/posts/michaelcurry/i-ask-president-trump-continue-powerful-work-our-refugee-resettlement-program

That statement included:

"I ask President Trump to continue the powerful work of our refugee
resettlement program without interruption, recognizing the long wait and
screening process that means refugees wait months and sometimes years to
enter the country. We ask that we continue to accept as many refugees as
we have in the past, recognizing the need is greater than ever. We ask
that refugees from all countries receive consideration to come to the
U.S. and not to ban those who come from countries most in need of our
assistance."
