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.
