Christian Life Community®'s General Principles are a description of its vision and charism. These principles are not a set of rules and regulations, but a particular vision for living out in community Christ's invitation to be church in a unique way. Following are excerpts and summaries from the General Principles and Norms.

PART III: ACCEPTANCE OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES
16. Modification of the General Principles.
The General Principles, which express the fundamental identity and charism of the Christian Life Community® and therefore its covenant with the Church, have been approved by the General Assembly and confirmed by the Holy See as the fundamental Statutes of this World Community. Amendments to these General Principles require a two-thirds majority vote by the General Assembly and confirmation by the Holy See.17. Suspension and Exclusion
Acceptance of the General Principles of the Christian Life Community® is a prerequisite for membership in CLC on any level. Significant failure of a member or a local community to observe them is cause for suspension and eventual exclusion by the National Community. Significant failure of a National Community to act when one of its local communities is not observing them is cause for its suspension and eventual exclusion from the World Community. There always remains a right of appeal from a local or regional decision to the National Community, from a national decision to the World Community.
