Three Fundamental Principles:
Churches should act together in all matters except those in
which deep differences of conviction compel them to act
separately - Lund Principle
There is no virtue in churches doing things together
which they ought not to be doing anyway - Nottingham Principle
Churches should not do on their own what they can do with
the community - Corby Principle
