Christian conservatives seek renewal at Florida faith summit
Activists gathered at Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Tampa suburb for the first Family Impact Summit to revive the Christian right. Notable participants included Gary Bauer and Tony Perkins as organizers hoped to rebuild local networks, though attendance was modest with 104 registrants. The Florida effort aims to collect 611,009 signatures to place an anti gay marriage amendment on the 2008 ballot, while abortion remains a core issue for mobilization ahead of the GOP race.
