Months after news broke out about the revered pastor and Bishop of Atlanta’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, attorneys involved in the case say a settlement is in the works.
An attorney involved in the sexual misconduct lawsuits against New Birth Missionary Baptist Church pastor Bishop Eddie Long told the AJC.com that the parties involved have settled the matter.
