In a sense one of the key variances I see is in the approach to matters of faith.
The conservative end of the spectrum is likely to be more concerned with correct doctrine - that is the right answer; whilst more moderate folk on the spectrum are more interested in doing theology, which in a sense is about how you get to the answer. Perhaps that would be best summed up in the role of reason in matters of faith.
The use of Holy Scripture is important, however what is our approach to it?

- The Bible is true
- The Bible is broadly true in all important matters
- The Bible is wholly true in every detail and from every perspective
- The Bible tells us what folk understood as the truth
- The Bible is a record of the revelation of truth
- The Bible is a vehicle of truth
- The Bible is the starting point of theology
- The Bible is the end point of all doctrine
