it is unusual to me that in a time where all of our other definitions have become corrupted, that we even use this term "grace" to apply to people in a secular sense, with the same basic meaning--unflappable, not rude or boorish, etc. "Church" might mean Living Stones, or a building; "pastor" might mean to shepherd in a mature way, or the leader of a church; but "grace" seems to be incorruptible.
