About the Institute
NEW FEATURES ADDED
The Canon Law Institute(R) is a not-for-profit corporation organized as a scholarly resource center, think tank, and support organization for Christian denominations throughout the world. The Institute's primary mission is to educate Christian churches and denominations on the importance of establishing and maintaining just and righteous systems of internal justice which include governance, disciplinary matters, and personal conflict resolution within the Body of Christ. As an interrelated component of this mission, the Institute is engaged in providing information, education and training for canonists and attorneys throughout the Christian community.
The broad areas of Institute activity include:
Protestant and Anglo-Catholic canon law activities include research and publications on the systems utilized by various denominations for internal governance and disciplinary matters. In this context the Institute publishes the Canon Law Journal, which includes consideration of the historical Catholic foundation for contemporary canonical topics. The Institute also maintains an ongoing Web publication and linking project to provide World Wide Web access to as many of these materials as possible.
We enter the wonderful new world of "blogging" with CanonBlog, a place for the latest information from the Canon Law Institute and your thoughts and responses. Remember--others can see your comments so post nothing that you do not wish to share.
Now you can share information with other members by joining the forum. This new feature will replace the old managed e-mail forum and, we hope, provide a more timely and robust discussion. Once again remember--others can see your comments so post nothing that you do not wish to share.

| The Institute is not an advocacy group. It is not affiliated with any particular Christian denomination or church. Rather, it views cross-denominational dialogue and education on canon law matters as one small step in support of ecumenism. |
