One of the BCO questions asked of new members in their profession of faith is: Do you submit yourselves to the government and discipline of the Church, and promise to study its purity and peace? What does it mean by peace? Is it being teachable and not causing conflict within the body? But, what is the study of peace? Just wondering.

From http://www.fpcr.org/blue_banner_articles/visible3.htm"it is not merely a promise to submit to the government and discipline, but contains also a promise to work for the purity and peace of the church. Though it seems to “go without saying,” one cannot “study the purity and peace” of the church from outside the church. "
Grace is not common.
