The Christian Coalition today announced a million dollar fund-raising drive to help rebuild Southern black churches that have been targets of arson. So far 36 churches have been damaged or destroyed by suspicious fires in the past 18 months, including two last night in Mississippi. The Coalition's announcement came today at a meeting with black ministers. Some blacks have charged that the Coalition is not sincere in their efforts and are politically grandstanding on the issue.
