What is the Greek word that starts with a that means nonessential points of faith? It is contrasted with essential dogma, and refers to areas of disagreement which are not critical for Christian faith.

I keep wanting to say anaphora, which is obviously incorrect, but I imagine it sounds something like that.

    It's not a translation request. It is a question asking for the word that was taken up into historical Christian theology to designate a particular theological concept.
