I was as you may know raised 1960s Southern Baptist; "Grace River" is 
not going to hit me out of left field, but "River of Grace" sure as 
perdition would. Right out of that whole Arminian anabaptist theology 
they seem to have forgotten.

As for "grace" in non-Christian religions, I cannot think of another 
instance. Salvation through divine grace? The only parallel I can think 
of that even remotely approaches is in Buddhism, the Pure Land groups of 
Japan ... but you might know those better than I, Azalais.
