Best Answer

A church is governed by an ecclesiastical law or code of laws established by a church council. These are referred to as canons. Canons can also refer to a Church decree enacted to regulate morals or religious practices within the church.

In Christianity those canons would incorporate the tenets, or foundations, such as Scriptural elements, as the principles of religion or philosophy.
