Discipleship: A disciple is one who undertakes the discipline of his/her teacher. Thus, discipleship is about learning what that discipline is, learning how to follow. It's part education, part mentoring, part apprenticeship, but it goes a step beyond it. Disciples not only take in what they are taught and what they learn from being with the teacher, they take it into their core identity, so that it defines who they are. |

Dogma: A teaching in a religion that is seen as part of that religion's core tradition, spelled out in some specific way that is considered definitive or authoritative. Dogmas are common to most religions, and sometimes non-religious systems. The Roman Catholic Church still believes it can declare Christian dogma; other Christians do not accept that any one body can issue dogma, or even that there is such a definitive thing as 'dogma'. Today, the word 'dogma' has a negative feel to it, because dogmas have been used by those in authority to limit freedom. |
