Robert J. Marsh was surprised last October to see a notice from a local Baptist curch announcing that a speaker named Ronnie Hill would be visiting public schools in Marion, Ill., to lecture about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

A little research on the Internet soon confirmed Marsh's suspicions.
