'Music church' settles case against Pa. county

A landowner who incorporated a non-denominational Christian church for people who love "jam band" music can hold a limited number of concerts each year under an agreement that settles his religious freedom lawsuit against a southwestern Pennsylvania county.The 12-page settlement filed Friday in a federal court in Pittsburgh allows William Pritts and his Church of Universal Love and Music to hold concerts on six Friday-through-Sunday weekends each year, plus concerts on six other Saturdays. Pritts sued Fayette County in 2006 after officials refused to grant him a religious-use zoning exception and a judge banned the concerts.
