Dove Awards for gospel head to Atlanta in 2011
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Organizers of the Dove Awards are taking a leap of faith and moving the annual gospel and Christian music show to Atlanta.
This will be the first time the Doves have ever been held anywhere but Nashville. A statement from the Gospel Music Association announcing the move called it a bold step.
GMA board chairman Ed Leonard said the move was an opportunity to expand the reach of the awards, which have been held at the Grand Ole Opry House in recent years.
The 2011 Dove Awards will be held April 20 at the Fox Theatre in Midtown Atlanta.
Leonard says no decision has been made on where the awards will be held in subsequent years.
Christian teacher settles arm-branding case
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio family has settled a lawsuit against a public school teacher who was accused of promoting his Christian faith in class and burning the image of crosses on
students' arms.
The family of Zachary Dennis and attorneys for teacher John Freshwater's insurance carrier did not release details of agreement, which averts a trial scheduled to begin Monday. U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost still must approve the pact.
The Mount Vernon school board voted to fire Freshwater in 2008, and he remains on unpaid administrative leave pending an appeal. The board settled a separate lawsuit with the Dennis family, agreeing to pay them $5,502 and their attorneys $115,500.
Family attorney Doug Mansfield said Wednesday the lawsuits were about correcting a wrong, not money.
