According to WALB-TV, First African Baptist Church in Bainbridge sent Josephine King, who attended the church for five decades, a notice saying she "is no longer considered a member" because she "has shown non-support" financially and physically. The letter was signed by Derrick Mike, the church's senior pastor, the station said.

WALB said it contacted the church for comment but hasn't heard back.
