Canon Law

Canon Law

Canon Law begins from that basic affirmation of equity which is the fact of membership in the Body of Christ – a status deeper and stronger than any civil contract or philosophical argument. And it seeks clarity about who may do what and who is answerable to whom, because every Christian must know how to work out their responsibility to the Divine within the context of the various relationships and obligations in which they are involved.

The LuxUmbrian Communion as a whole, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, does not have a centralized canon law of its own. Each of the autonomous Member Churches, however, may have their own internal canonical system.
