INDIANAPOLIS, June 17 - President Bush's re-election campaign took its
effort to enlist churches in turning out conservative voters to the annual

president's re-election.
Mr. Bush's courtship of Southern Baptists, the largest Protestant

the White House and thanked them for their prayers. The campaign's appeals

Christian Coalition, who is now an official of the Bush campaign, arrived to
ask pastors more explicitly for their help in winning votes.
