Atlanta agrees to pay to $1.2 million to former fire chief Kelvin Cochran

The City Council voted 11-3 on Oct. 15 to settle all claims in a federal lawsuit filed by Kelvin Cochran, fired as head of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department in 2015 after writing and distributing a self-published book inspired by a church Bible study calling homosexuality a “perversion.”

The government can’t force its employees to get its permission before they engage in free speech.

I was hoping he would get about $10 million.

Now a writer for Baptist Press:

Kelvin Cochran • Chief Operating Officer at Elizabeth Baptist Church, Atlanta

"As sons and daughters of God we can longer be content celebrating individual regeneration....Yes, heaven rejoices when one soul is saved; however, our collective efforts should ultimately lead to a global ministry of reconciliation, unifying the body of Christ."

"'Are ye not carnal'...(1 Corinthians 3:3)...Are ye not carnal when we prioritize labels of Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and Church of God in Christ and other denominations over global strategies to unify the body of Christ?"
