The two groups worship in the same church but in shifts. During the Sunday, November 21, service, the caretaker's group is said to have worshipped longer than expected, a move that irked the pastor's group, which was waiting outside.

Chaos succeeded as the pastor's group stormed into the building to get the other group out of the church.
