Editing Community of Christ (section)

===Peace===
In keeping with the Community of Christ's role as a "peace and justice church", the [[Independence Temple]] was "dedicated to the pursuit of [[peace]]".<ref>[[Doctrine and Covenants]], Section 156:5</ref> Every day at 1 pm a [[Daily Prayer for Peace]] is held in the [[sanctuary]] of the Independence Temple. The church's peace position was influenced by the [[Mennonite Central Committee]] Peace and Justice Education Associate. In addition, the [[Community of Christ International Peace Award]] has been bestowed annually since 1993 (except 1996). The call to "peace, reconciliation, and healing of the spirit" is a recurring theme of the Community of Christ and is reflected in its official vision statement. Doctrinal statements by the church suggest that "because of our commitment to Christ and belief in the worth of all people and the value of community building, we dedicate our lives to the pursuit of peace and justice for all people."<ref name="coc_beliefs"/>
