English term or phrase: the three-self principle
Hello,

I am translating training material for German churches (the readers are mostly non-academic).
It is about how fresh expressions of church mature. The three-self principle includes self-governing, self-financing and self-reproducing. The material quotes what Henry Venn said 1846 about 'introducing a self-supporting principle into the native church'.

Übersetzungsvarianten:
das "drei-eigen-Prinzip" und das Prinzip der drei "selbst" gefällt mir beides nicht.
Die nachfolgenden Überschriften könnten dann Eigensteuerung, Eigenfinanzierung und eigene Vermehrung heißen, oder Selbstregierung, Selbstfinanzierung und Selbstreproduktion. Das gefällt mir aber alles nicht richtig.

Danke für alle Vorschläge!
