DAVEH:  There is between the various factions of Mormon denominations, but I don't see much diversity of theological understanding under the LDS umbrella.  But perhaps being immersed in it prevents me from seeing the trees due to the forest that blocks my view.  What little dissent I see seems to be more of a personal grousing than a true dispute of doctrinal issues.  I have also seen some less than knowledgeable members hold incorrect doctrines simply due to a lack of knowledge, but I don't view that as being a variance of understanding as much as a lack of understanding.

It was an attempt on my part to address the issue of diversity within your tradition. I excluded those you'd deem either fringe or fundamentalist groups. I don't recall anyone responding. If there exists no variance of understanding on important matters, it would kind of scare me.
