Daily Prayer for Peace

The sanctuary is open to the public as members lead a brief worship service that includes the Daily Prayer for Peace.

At the 1984 World Conference of Community of Christ, its President, Wallace B. Smith, called for the construction of the Independence Temple and its dedication "to the pursuit of peace."

It is one of many practices, including the Community of Christ International Peace Award that distinguish the denomination and its members.

Prior to 9 April 2007, the Daily Prayer for Peace was held at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time/Central Daylight Time.

With the change in time, those working at Community of Christ International Headquarters are encouraged to pause and attend this service.
