...moderates intend to keep fighting on, convinced, as one put it, that ''religious dictatorship cannot halt biblical scholarship.'' Moore insists that when lay Baptists realize what is happening, ''you're going to see a sure-enough rising-up.'' But time may work against the moderates. Emory University Sociologist Nancy Ammerman finds growing Fundamentalism among younger Southern Baptists. Given the nationwide and global involvement of the denomination, the implications of Rogers' victory go well beyond the American South.

The group emerged from three days of talks with little new information. But they left the Germans with the clear impression that their persistence will not fade...

"We are answering to our loved ones," says Ammerman. "We have all made a commitment not to stop until we satisfy that need." No one who has come up against them doubts the sincerity of that promise...
