Recently the North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church declared "Exigent Circumstances" and seized the property of Fifth Avenue United Methodist Church, a 175 year old congregation in Wilmington North Carolina. The members of the church, some who have been members their entire lives, were completely blindsided by the act. The congregation, who's members were beginning the process of disaffiliation, were locked out of the building after their final service on Easter. In this video we take a look at what happened with this historic church.
