[Buddha-l] Theravada

[Bruce Burrill]

Am I correct to say that Theravada not only refers to an ordination 
lineage, but is also a doctrinal lineage. Such a distinction can be 
made? Are there solely ordination lineages that have no doctrinal 
affiliations, or doctrinal schools that have no ordination lineage? I 
think I know the answers to these question, but I would some learned 
input from maybe Profs Counsins, Lusthaus, and Gethin (if he is still 
on the list) and anyone else who has good handle on this. Thanks much.
