I was part of an e-mail listserv years ago with a bunch of pastors all over the world. The group on the listserv discussed the weekly lectionary texts, under the direction of a pastor from the United Church of Canada.

Discover the Disciples
We Believe In…
Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
- Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and offers saving grace to all.
- All persons are God’s children.
Open Communion
The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of belief
Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by immersion
In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the oneness of the church
All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
The ministry to believers
Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.

If you have a mouse in a maze with a reward at the end, and you make it so the mouse receives a shock or some other undesirable stimulus whenever they reach for that reward, the mouse will stop reaching for it. And if, later, the shock is removed, the mouse still won’t reach for the reward.
