The Blaze has confirmed that Occupy Wall Street protesters cut through a fence on a lot owned by Trinity Church, a major landowner in Manhattan. Earlier this morning, the New York Times reported:
The protesters had their eye on the church’s lot. In mid-morning, a delegation of protesters said they were trying to obtain permission from church officials to occupy the lot.

Below, see video of what appears to be a portion of the aforementioned negotiations between Trinity and the Occupiers. In the clip, you’ll also hear faith leaders speak about why they have joined the protest movement:
