The Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. - Psalm146:9
For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever. - Jeremiah 7:5-7
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another. - Zechariah 7:9-10
Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. - Romans 12:13
Love does no wrong to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. - Romans 13:10

And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shift in hospitals, they may not be citizens-- ' - Charisma News
The narrative being put forth by the NAR machine is on full display here. That this "woke" Episcopalian bishop condemned their idol, Donald Trump. That she used radical left-wing talking points to do so. The NAR, and their primary media machine in Charisma News, is trying to co-opt the church to feel aggrieved as well.
