On Oct. 10, at the 6th Annual AIB Allen Awards for 2006, Faith And The City Forum was recognized as Best Faith-Based Program by Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasters Inc.

Gatlin also thanked other members of the production team, including producer Dorie Griggs and senior producer John Baker Brown Jr. Faith And The City Forum, in its fourth year of production, airs weekly, providing interfaith perspectives from Atlanta’s diverse faith communities on a range of public issues affecting the metro area, the nation, and the world.
