Welcome House Raleigh is furnishing apartments for newly arrived Afrikaner refugees, which has sparked controversy due to their historical ties to apartheid. Despite the ethical challenges, director Marc Wyatt affirms their mission to provide support and kindness to all individuals, consistent with their faith-based values. The organization routinely aids numerous refugees from various countries, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and compassion. The situation highlights the complexities of refugee support amidst differing opinions on the backgrounds of those seeking refuge.
"Our position is that however morally and ethically charged it is, our mandate is to help welcome and love people. Our holy book says God loves people. We don't get to discriminate."
"Wyatt recognizes that Afrikaners are part of a white ethnic minority that created and led South Africa's brutal segregationist policies known as apartheid for nearly 50 years."
