Donald Trump formally unveiled Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate Saturday, calling him
the key to unifying the Republican Party after a tumultuous primary season.
"One of the biggest reasons I've chosen Mike, one of the reasons is party unity, I have to be honest,"
Trump said before introducing Pence at the Hilton Midtown in New York.
continued...
When Pence finally took the stage, he introduced himself as a "Christian, [ a ] conservative and a Republican, in that order."
Pence, who was also a House lawmaker from 2001 to 2013, could improve Trump's conservative bona fides and help appeal to the party's base.

He received a bachelor's degree from Hanover College in 1981 and a J.D. from Indiana University School
of Law in 1986. It was at Hanover that Pence converted to evangelical Christianity and changed his
politics, inspired by Ronald Reagan's economic beliefs.

Mike Pence’s religion
https://craigfehrman.com/2013/01/09/mike-pences-religion/
Posted on 9 January 2013
[ excerpts, emphasis added ]
In 1994, the Indianapolis Business Journal published a terrific profile of the 35-year-old Pence. There, he described his faith quite openly: “I made a commitment to Christ. I’m a born-again, evangelical Catholic.”
You don’t see that combo every day, even in Indiana, but the Journal had caught Pence at a time when
he was oscillating between his upbringing and his evangelical faith. Pence’s parents raised their children
Catholic, and Pence served as an altar boy and went to a parochial school. In college, however, he fell in
with a nondenominational student fellowship group he wouldn’t tell me which one and made his “commitment
to Christ.” That didn’t end his commitment to Catholicism, and when Pence graduated in 1981 he worked as
a full-time Catholic youth minister and even applied to D.C.’s Catholic University. The plan was to become
a priest, he told the Journal, and while it didn’t work out Pence was still attending mass in the late ’80s,
when met his wife at Indy’s St. Thomas Aquinas.
At some point in the mid ’90s, Pence and his young family switched to an evangelical mega church.
(In 1995, he told the Indianapolis Star that they attended the city’s Grace Evangelical Church.)
