Political infighting large in race for Southern Baptists' president

From today's WSJ:

CHARLOTTE — It has been years since moderate Baptists went their own way after the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention. But that hasn't put an end to political infighting within America's largest Protestant denomination, and disputes about its future are expected to dominate the SBC's two-day annual meeting when it begins Tuesday in Greensboro...
The differences among the candidates may appear insignificant to outsiders, since all three oppose abortion and gay marriage and believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. But the areas in which they differ - including how much money from an individual church's offerings should go to the SBC and how the denomination should handle internal disagreements - are indicative of larger forces dividing the nation's 16.3 million Southern Baptists.
