Twelve Principles which are guiding the Canons Committee as we work:
1. The Canons will be biblical – we want the Bible to inform and direct the canons.
2. We will have as few Canons as possible.
3. We will learn from the best Anglican practices from around the world.
4. We will be respectful of and attentive to the best of Anglican traditions.
5. The Canons will encourage Gospel mission work.
6. The Canons will encourage godly initiative.
7. The Canons will be national.
8. The Canons will encourage godly churches, clergy and Bishops.
9. The Canons will foster co-operative and prayerful relationships between
laity/priest/parish/Bishop/Synod.
10. The Canons will strive for wise balances of authority and responsibility between laity/priest/parish/Bishop/Synod.
11. The Canons will be open to ongoing reformation by God’s word written and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
12. We desire to be servants who do all things to the Hallowing of God’s name and the furtherance of His Kingly rule..
