Battle for the freed slave Lunsford Lane, the role of women in leadership and in the organization Woman's Missionary Society (WMS, later called the Woman's Missionary Union), and the church's response to the Southern Baptist Convention's 1998 article "The Family" as part of the document "Baptist Faith and Message."
