Something held in church (5)

I believe the answer is:

tenet

(Other definitions for tenet that I've seen before include "Article of faith; doctrine" , "Dogma or principle" , "Matter of belief" , "A palindromic doctrine or belief" , "Opinion held to be true" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
